Image: © Norma Lewins Taken: 1 Aug 2006
July/August 2006 weather conditions had been very dry and under ground water pipes had broken, it took about 4 days for the water company to find exactly where they were, they then had to repair them. In Bedlington and areas around Bedlington the people had to go to car parks, etc to receive bottled water, approx 8 litres per day. This had to be used for drinks, cooking, washing and to be able to flush the toilet etc.
