I am writing to The Argus because you speak for the people and the current water situation needs a strong write-up from you.

I have bad hands and a bad back and, at the age of 68, have been carrying watering cans to and from my three water butts. It's giving me terrible pain.

I've also cut back on other water use, which is unhygienic.

Today, I read 50 million litres of water have been allocated to help run the Newhaven incinerator.

What with that and the amount South East Water is wasting by leakage from disrepair, I've never felt so strongly in my life that something is wrong that needs putting right.
