We arrived here yesterday to find the Valley full of holiday makers. During the coarse of the day we noticed a drop in water pressure usauly attributed to a drop in reservoir level when the pumps cant keep up with the demand from the 2000 or so visitors. The situation became a little more serious when a patrol car with loudhailer cruising though Natures valley announcing "water crisis do not water your gardens" and this morning no water. The reservoir is empty. That can only mean that the pumps were not pumping during the night. Fortunately we have a full 5000l watertank but for those without its going to be a dry sticky Christmas day.
