#Water shipped into #Skerries with levels low
Prolonged periods with minimal #rainfall left the reservoir and storage tank levels low in Skerries, #Scottish Water said.
That has meant the company is having to ship a road tanker full of treated water into the #island up to five times a week from #Whalsay to maintain people’s #water supplies.
Scottish Water said this would “continue for the foreseeable future”.

Customers in #Whalsay & #Yell left without power claiming to have been fobbed off
Households reported having no power after their prepay customer keys stopped working
Residents said #OVO had been “unhelpful”
Speaking to OVO was useless, they didn’t know anything
Another had to go off Whalsay to top up her 76 y/o great uncle’s card; he received no warning from OVO
James spent two hours on phone trying to get a solution from OVO
