Vulnerable Windsor residents who were left without water for four days are frustrated at how Thames Water has handled the problem. The Express understands that Thames Water turned off the water after discovering a large leak under a private driveway, affecting water supply to eight properties. Because it is a ‘private-side issue’, Thames Water advised residents to contact a plumber for this so the water supply can be restored. Residents remained without water until Monday and expressed their frustration that Thames Water were ‘not dealing with it’. It should still take ‘reasonable steps’ to restore the supply and provide alternatives, such as bottled water, if the supply is interrupted for an extended period.
