Nice bit of BS from Anglian Water.

Anglian Water are flushing out the mains in our area soon and they sent us a circular about it. I think they must be used to getting complaints from people seeing all the water going down the drains...

Nest time we have a drought, I'll be sure to leave all the taps running to keep those rivers and streams :o)

Cheers,

The upper Lea is around 80% treated sewage outfall.

Yes, seen those sort of bits of rubbish before. I'm not sure if its to just keep some writer in work or what. They generally do not say anything. I, being in London regularly get a publication called On Tap from Thames. It arrives to me as a cd normally in audio, but it really is either old news or justifications for the work being done or about to be done. Its not actually interesting and to my mind could easily be condensed into abot a five minute piece with just be the bare bones and contact phone and email details for more info. Brian
