So if we didn't have a look at MF we would never know about this important issue!!

 

Another fail for a Government Department!

 

No doubt the spin in the next day or so will eliminate that Government Department of all wrong doings and blame someone else.

 

Who is the Minister with responsibility for this Department?!

Nothing on www.iomonline.co.im

 

Unbelievable

or energy's news site, or manx radio's news site, or govenments news site.

Nothing on the 7.00pm news on energy or 3fm. Lets hope it's nothing serious.

Energy FM reported it on Facebook:

"

Urgent Information from the Water Authority:

 

The Isle of Man Water and Sewerage Authority wishes to advise customers that the recent exceptional weather resulted in the incoming raw water into the Douglas Water Treatment Works having high levels of sediment and has resulted in a brief period of 3-hours when the quality of water entering supply was lower than its normal high standards.

 

As purely an advisory measure, it is recommended that customers boil the water for drinking, food preparation and cleaning teeth. This advice is for the next 48-hours.

 

The areas affected are:

Douglas, Onchan, Baldrine, Lower Laxey, Crosby, Marown, Glen Vine, Santon, Ballasalla, Castletown, Ballabeg, Colby, Arbory, Port Erin and Port St Mary

 

Customers who have further concerns are advised to contact the Water & Sewerage Authority’s Customer Services Department on 695 949."

Well it's been on facebook, twitter, government website, manx radio will more than likely announced it as a bulletin. But the information is fairly new (last hour or so) so it takes time to get through

 

Apart from sending loud hailers through the streets what more do you want?

How many people are checking those sites every few minutes just in case something like this happens?

 

What should be happening, is water authority vans with loud speakers going around the affected area broadcsting details

Quite strange that we have had torrential rain for the last week and the Water Authority decide to tell everyone via the Internet and radio on a Sunday night!!!!!

 

What about little old Doris that don't have tinternet and don,t listen to Energy.

 

Water Authority very poor PR!
