Still no water :(

Does anybody local have an idea when to expect this back on?

Not sure where in Cvo you are located but the water situation today (Monday) must be localised to your area as here in Mato Serrao we appear to be back to 'normal'.

We are in Quinta Das Pias, Sesmarias - we're here on holiday so I may not have the area right??

None of our water is running nor toilets flushing. Its started working okay yesterday afternoon and we were able to get showers, but not today.

Hades, sorry to hear that. One or even two days is manageable, but three? Yikes. :(

We are in CVO Clube and have had water since late Saturday night. Our pressure isn´t what it should be but I am feeling fortunate.

Cheers. Nightmare - still no water! We were going to go into town tonight but think we'll give it a miss - unless the showers come back on! :o

Do your neighbours have water?

All of the works to repair the water main have been removed and we have full supply restored (we are supplied from the same Sesmarias water tower) - have you altered any taps etc in a bid to get the water back and not turned them back on? Just a thought!

Apparently it's a dodgy Villa Shanagarry!! :: jokes ::

Many thanks to you and your good lady Wife for the 'shower hospitslity' shown earlier. Very much appreciated and anything we can do in return would be a honour. Returned from town now well fed, kids asleep and just watching a few stars pass by. Oh, and showering like no tomorrow now the water is back on!! Fingers crossed tomorrow it will remain. Many thanks again

Not a problem - it's the least we could do. We're delighted the repair has been completed and let's pray that the remaining 10 days of your holiday erase the memory of this water issue.

You know where we are if you need to call - don't give it a second thought :D

I agree, you're a gentleman and a scholar :)
