Water leaks in town 'mocks the hosepipe ban'

A WOMAN has criticised South West Water saying “two big leaks” have been running through roads in her town for weeks despite being reported for repair. The criticism came as Cornwall remains in a hosepipe ban, 10 months after the water company first introduced water saving measures.

Water was reportedly running through both Prospect Lane and Callington Road in Saltash. Although now both fixed, the local woman says the leaks were clearly visible for six and four weeks respectively.
