Latest bits of news:- The plan to construct 22-miles of temporary water mains to enable water to be pumped from outside the county in an effort to restore essential supplies will not be going ahead. Apparently the reason is the traffic disruption it will cause on the M5 and the resources required to implement it. Reports note that other options are currently being explored which will provide the same degree of benefit without the undue impact on traffic and already severely stretched resources.
- The substation at Castlemeads has been switched off due to flooding. The decision to terminate the supply in a controlled manner was made for safety reasons due to a sudden surge in the flood water. It has affected 48,000 homes in the Gloucestershire area - the other substation workers and the Navy are still fighting to protect - if that goes down it means 600,000 homes without electricity. Reports are so far positive although at one point yesterday floodwaters were within 2 inches of breaching.
- Whiteshill water supply is rumoured to be a burst water main - if this is the case it may well be restored very soon - however it still looks like 2 weeks without water in Randwick and other areas.
- Whiteshill and Ruscombe Parish have already given in a list of 12 or so names of people needing help while Randwick are in the process of building a list - if in doubt please give names of vulnerable people to District Council as I am sure these wont be complete lists and circumstances change constantly. Neighbours are being very wonderful and helping out in many areas - this is hopefully a good excuse if ever people needed one to knock on doors locally to see if all are OK.
