    “I rang Anglian Water mid morning and they said trying to repair a major mains burst and expected to be back on about 1pm, I got a call from them just after 6pm checking to see if my water back on, I had a shock as don't see service like that these days. Good work Anglian Water.”

    “If water was controlled by the Government the silly prices would get even sillier. I, for one, don't mind paying my water bill, we take running our tap and clean water appearing for granted, the same with flushing the toilet, taking a shower, washing our clothes. There's bound to be a hick-up sometimes, but heck, it's soon corrected.”
