WATER being cut from us, helped to reflect on the time when the older generation were always drawing water from well, stream of had barrel under down pipe. Just in case there is another breakdown in supply, it would be useful if we were reminded of the many springs in the locality and also many have their own supply and would share their neighbours in an emergency. I am told some used bottled water to flush their toilet, even though, there plenty was falling from the sky.
