interruptions to your water supply If a water pipe in your area bursts, we may have to cut off your water supply. If we do, we will always try to tell you how long it will take to restore your water supply. |

| The water supply will be restored within 12 hours from the time we are first aware of the interruption or the supply being cut off. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| If the supply is not restored within 12 hours - £20 will be paid out to you automatically. This does not apply to a large diameter strategic water main. If the burst involves a large diameter strategic water main, restoration of supply could take up to 48 hours. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| If the supply is not restored within 48 hours - £20 will be paid out to you automatically. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| In addition we will pay you compensation for every subsequent 24 hour period you are without water - £10 per 24 hours will be paid out to you automatically. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
