Our water supply had been severely tainted with what we think is e.coli for 3 days before we found out by accident - and another 24 hours before the estate manager decided to let us know.
Fortunately my other half had been away on business and I don’t drink water from the tap so we’re okay but our neighbours are pretty poorly.
We’re on a boil notice for at least another 4 days and the manager is bringing us bottled water which is nice but considering this is their fault in the first place it’s the least they could do.
And no word whatsoever from the landlord, WHO ALSO LIVES HERE.
Fucking raging.

I would be raging too. How does that even happen?

We’re not on mains water so it’s pumped up from an aquifer and stored. My limited understanding is that tank has UV filters to get rid of the nasty bacteria and those filters had/have not been properly cleaned so coliform and enterococci (I think) were detected in last week’s tests.
Further tests carried out by the council yesterday and we await results but don’t necessarily trust what the management tells us so are going direct to the council as well. We have a right to know what’s going on.
