Aqua Vitae

We chased up Cadgers, at some point in August, about progress on getting our water connected. Not a lot!

But he promised to either have it sorted for our arrival, or to provide a water bowser. He muttered about doing the Aberdeenshire Council & Scottish Water paperwork after the event.

And he did get it sorted, just as my  brother Ric got on site. We have a standpipe close to where our front door will be (eventually) with a respectable flow rate. They had cut across the access track and refilled it without much visible sign and the road end looked equally undisturbed.

It took 313 days from posting the form to Scottish Water to getting the tap! The water had a very plasticity taste throughout our fortnight there, but we did not really flush out the pipework before we started drinking.
