OK, so the water is back, we’re not smelly any more.
In fact our proximity to St Finbarr’s Hospital probably brought it back to us quicker than most – although I was informed we were ‘borrowing’ our water from Rochestown. What was frustrating was not really knowing whether we could trust it as drinking water or not. Finally, in a total auto-pilot moment, I brushed my teeth with the tap water and slowly kind of started to use it from there.
However the small fella is still turning on the bathroom tap and saying ‘it’s working!’ – he doesn’t forget too easily.
I haven’t yet gone as far as emptying the water butt. You just don’t know when you might need 132 litres of rain water…
