The pipes froze in my Mam's house during the bad weather and when she mentioned it in work, some people told her to leave her water running overnight - that's what they did to ensure that they wouldn't be affected.
Residents in my estate (including myself) who had problems with water supply over Xmas/New Year received a letter from a local councillor telling us that it was essential to keep the taps running to avoid frozen pipes!!

That might seem a lot of water to you but the loss from freezing and burst pipes would be much more.
We are a water rich country where we don`t have to watch every small leak.
Gormley is looking at it from the water companys point of view, who are not able to deal with the water demands from the consumers, despite the fact that 50% of the water is lost thru`leaking mains pipes.
