Where's the water

Has anyone got any water today??
We have not had any at all.

La Marina

4.30 and still no water!

It was nearly 3 weeks ago now that our water completely went off for about 4 hours and since they put it back on our water pressure is worse than normal - and that was bad enough. Since then the pressure is so low that the mixer taps won't mix as there is only a trickle coming out of the cold water tap and very slow coming from the hot.

We have been up to see Jeff on 3 or 4 different occasions and each time he says he has told them to put the pressure up and the last time we went up he said the Agua men would come round to our property - WELL, still blooming waiting. We have phoned on numerous occasions only to be told that both Jeff and Samantha are out of the office or at a meeting - like this morning - SO, another weekend goes by.

What the hell do you have to do to get what you are paying for? We just would like normal pressure back to have a shower, bath etc. That's not too much to ask is it? I am not happy as you can tell. Can't anybody get this sorted?

no problem on Oasis but that could be because hardly anyone lives here. A real oasis a quiet haven of calm

Well the water came back on about 7pm, just after I had been and bought shedloads of it from the International store.

Water might be back but no pressure so boiler won't fire (gas) so cold weekend for us.

How awful for you SallyAn. This is absolutely disgusting that we should have to put up with this kind of thing in this day and age We are paying enough money and should have a decent water supply all year round. This needs sorting ASAP.

Why have they turned the water pressure down so low. takes ages to fill the kettle.

Commented Dreamer in La Marina 2013-11-03 07:42:46 UTC

Cause "Polly put the kettle on" and Jack and Jill went up the hill to fill a pail with aqua both felt SMART and got an agent to take a 3000 euro deposit on the pail before they could get any water.

Good play on words

Well I was in the George doing my tarot card for charity. Well you just will not believe this Taz did something completely off the wall, probably never been done before on La marina. Taz phoned agua es and they told her what time the water in George would be back on. Bang on time, true to their word it was back on. Dam smart lass that Taz. Maybe if more people bothered them they would get the message. ps my water was fine no problem at all .

Commented rose in La Marina 2013-11-03 15:36:44 UTC

Well done Taz. I phoned them twice, at 3.30pm they said one hour. At 6.30 they said it was back on!!! No water was coming out of my taps until 8pm, must come via Australia.

Commented sallyan in La Marina 2013-11-03 16:10:06 UTC

True it is back on but at a much reduced pressure. Mixer taps do not seem to cope with this reduced pressure. By the time you get it going I end up with either 2 hot or 2 cold. PLEASE TURN IT BACK TO what it was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Commented Douglas in La Marina 2013-11-03 17:23:07 UTC

As said previously - my mixer taps have such bad cold water pressure it won't mix - We will be going up to pay Jeff yet another visit tomorrow - this I think will be the 4th, and each time he says it will be sorted and even said they would be coming to our property - but they have not turned up. Good job I didn't hold my breath wasn't it?

If I could speak Spanish - yes I would be phoning up the Agua, but as I don't I can't, so unfortunately have to rely on other people to do this ie Jeff.

Commented Carol in La Marina 2013-11-03 18:01:35 UTC

You do not need to speak Spanish carol they have English speakers. I managed to get a 200 euro refund from them. I will add it was all done by phone as the people in San fulgencio office threatened to bring the police to me for complaining.................long story
