You've no time for sitting down, you need that gas bottle finding.
Right. U utilities brought some water out......not quite the pallet promised but 8 x 2 ltrs 🤔. Overnight they will come out to flush the main water supply pipes. Tomorrow the are coming to take samples from our taps to see if its an internal problem.
Hope we are getting closer to a solution.

Think I've found one at a garage down the road.
I've got enough gas on board to last another 7 days. We've got 4 more nights off grid at this site, then 2 weeks with EHU at 2 other sites, then 4 nights off grid at the last site.
No panic ......... yet.
No discolouring.
After showering there is often a fine sandy type sediment in the bath.
The drinking tap sometimes has a build up of black gunge coming out......not nice.

Right, I have cancelled the British Gas power flush job and when I told them they were too expensive, they offered to give me a 10% discount. Not likely.

If it's after heavy rain, chances are it's just run off too fast, overloading the treatment plants final stage. That was the reason we were given, when the residue was dark orange.
Any build-up as you've described, gunge, may be "dirt", in water not fully treated.

I got back just before 2 with 57 miles on, morning started off cool and grey with a stiff breeze that I could hear whistling at times, the sun came out towards the end it warmed up and the breeze got stronger. The cafe at Brandon Marsh is the closest of the cafe's I use, its a good one if the weather forecast is dodgy, there's plenty of little lanes that can be used to work out a scenic route out and back, but if I come out of the cafe and its raining I can run for home and its only 8 miles. a good morning out on my bike this morning, the cafe has only just reopened after lock down so it was a chance to ride lanes I hadn't ridden for a while, an interesting start to the ride, we've got 3 schools and a nursery by us and the traffic round here gets bonkers at school time, so at the start of the ride I was dodging school run mum's, a bit further across the city and I came across a set of temporary lights that weren't working right, having waited for a long time I went against the red light, when I got to the end the lights the other end were on red as well, with as big a line of waiting traffic, that route across the city takes me down the Henley Road and up Deedmore Road to Shilton and in the morning is usually very busy.

Had to read that a second time, just to be certain I'd read it correctly.
