Cold water could be worse

TWO Fridays in a row, both extremely cold, has had major water mains issues for the Evanston Gardens, Evanston Park, Angle Vale Road and Munno Para Downs areas.

I would like to just send my appreciation and thanks to the SA Water teams who had to work through extremely unpleasant conditions and also cold nights before the water supply could be restored.

One morning without a nice hot shower was a nasty surprise but today (Saturday) those teams have worked through the night to ensure we had water supply restored.

Thank you so much. I

t was a wet, cold night and I’m grateful.
