They don't come out at that time unless it is an emergency.

The water company and council say it was scheduled work, The council said all they asked is that the road was not closed between 7.30-9.30 and 16.30-18.30. It was not an emergency. I feel If it need to be done at night to turn the water off etc then the drilling work should have been done earlier in the day/evening NOT AT 3AM and I feel we should have atleast be warned.

I am with you on that one hearts. That leaking manhole on Porthill was like that for 8 weeks!! I wondered when they would get around to fixing it, but at 3am!!! It obviously wasn't an emergency for 8 weeks! Still its a very busy road. They could have done it around 8pm or something like that once rush hour has gone. But hey its fixed now.. but you have my sympathies.....
