"My main concern is throughout Saturday and Sunday hackney council emergency services line was not being manned so no one answered. Water bottles were delivered to the estate There are two teenagers, a young adult and an elderly adult living in her home. Ms Ferreira told The Standard: We had to boil water to be able to wash. It affected us in terms of the time it took to get enough water for us to wash."
"Being five people in the house, I've got a lot of washing to do this weekend let me put it that way. To be honest, what worries me is the associated costs that will hit me next month. Extra electricity, extra gas, obviously buying bottled water. She did not receive any letters about the incident until Thursday. She was told she would need to register with Thames Water to receive free bottles of water sent to her home."
Residents of the Frampton Park Estate in Hackney experienced loss of running and hot water beginning Friday January 2 after a burst Thames Water main. Many households could not flush toilets, shower, or use washing machines, with some enduring outages up to seven days. Water pressure was restored to most flats on Thursday evening, January 8. One resident reported receiving only a small amount of drinking water each morning, being unable to reach emergency council repairs over the weekend, and having to boil water and spend extra time and money to bathe and launder. Bottled water deliveries required residents to register with Thames Water, and communications arrived late.
