OK so most of the locals will prolly be aware there may be an issue with the water supply at the moment, but for anyone living under a rock - or those travelling there soon, boil your water.. last thing you need before a meet is to get a bout of the raging squits

IMPORTANT PUBLIC INFORMATION NOTICE

As a precaution, people in Blackpool, Chorley, Fylde, Preston, South Ribble and Wyre are advised to boil their drinking water.

United Utilities is advising customers in these areas to boil their water for all drinking, food preparation and brushing teeth as a precaution until further notice.

People can continue to use tap water without boiling for general domestic purposes such as bathing, flushing toilets or washing clothes.

Routine tests at Franklaw water treatment works detected traces of cryptosporidium and although the traces are low the company is advising customers to boil their water as a precaution.

Martin Padley, Chief Scientific Officer at United Utilities, said: "The advice is being given purely as a precautionary measure as we carry out additional tests today.

"We apologise for the inconvenience but the health of our customers is absolutely paramount."

Customers are asked to take extreme care when boiling water because of the danger of scalding. Simply bring water to the boil and let it cool. United Utilities is monitoring water supplies and is hoping to be able to lift the boil water advice as soon as possible.

Latest updates will be available at unitedutilities.com and on Twitter @unitedutilities

I like the little rider on how to boil water for cretins:

"Customers are asked to take extreme care when boiling water because of the danger of scalding. Simply bring water to the boil and let it cool."

I like the extra information to let the boiled water to cool. I have the image of loads of Lancastrians with scalded mouths from brushing their teeth.

"Just popping in, did someone say lunchbox?!? "

The amount of action that poor lunchbox has seen, I'd definitely say it got tossed into the reservoir afterwards

This is not strictly true.

According to Thames Water, the average is 7 people have had it pass through their livers before it gets to yours.

But this in only true in London, which has a large population and pressures on water supply.

It is not true in the UK as a whole.

Even if it has its still been cleaned and checked before it gets to me so that really doesn't bother me at all

Knowing that it may be contaminated turns my stomach so I'd rather not even touch it until it's been deemed safe enough

Which brings us back to boiling it!

That's what's known as killing said bugs.

Scarily.... Water is not quite as plentiful as people think.

Of all the water on earth, only around 3% of it is fresh water 97% being salt water.

Of that 3% ...35% is ground water and 64% is glacial, 0.9% is declared as other... Meaning surface water.... Of that 0.9%

69% is perma frost, 3%swamps, 3% atmosphere, 1% soil moisture 1.5% living things... Which leaves lakes at 20% of the 0.9% of the 3%

Remember, this is just a precaution, the message said traces of cryptosporidium. It is a little animal that occurs naturally in nature and if you are fit and healthy it won't do you any harm. The water companies in this country spent millions on installing monitoring equipment to check! It is very rare to find any trace.

I know! and the thought of it still turns my stomach

While there are bottles of water available I'd drink those

If I was on a deserted island with only shit infested rain water I'd re think my strategy and start a fire and boil it

That's not quite true, even if your fit and healthy, you'll have weeks of stomach cramps and diarrhoea.

If your not it will have a good chance to kill you

This shouldn't be an enormous problem in Lancashire, you only need to go outdoors tip your head back and open your mouth.

The rainfall was the driving force behind the cotton industry.

But bottle water is more likely to contain bugs than water mains water!

The checks done by the water authority are a hundred times more stringent than bottled water ones?

You can go on and on until the cows come home if you like

I'm still not drinking anything that makes my stomach turn at the thought of it and that's it really

What about the 87% that falls in Scotland every fucking summer.

No smiley with an umbrella then.

I wouldn't fancy a meet with someone from up there, however clean they may claim to be, after bathing in that contaminated water. Give him a blow job anyone?
