My partner lives on a mobile home sight for eleven months of the year, due to the current cold spell, the main water supply pipes have been freezing on a regular basis, leaving the residents with out any water for several hours. There are over two thousand permanent residents including pensioners and disabled, could anyone tell me the current EHO regulations regarding water on mobile home sights.
Many thanks

Check the terms of agreement between your partner and the landlord/owner. You may wish to contact the local authority and inform them of the position and seek their advice - that is if they're not the landlord!!!

Jameson - what angle are you looking at here? Are they looking for some kind of enforcement action or seeking to claim for breach of contract?
Whilst I imagine the situation is grim, it is hardly anyones fault if pipes are freezing at the moment is it? Whole villages are losing their water supply at the moment due to the incredibly low temperatures we are currently enduring.
In the short term, melt / boil some snow (not the yellow stuff) and buy in bottled water.

Thank you for your response stevie40 but boiling snow is a little ridicules I did say in my thread if any one could inform me of the EHO regulations, also as I mentioned in my thread the sight in question has disabled and OAP's in residence I have now spoken to someone from the EHO and suggested boiling snow as suggested by yourself, well if anything you made us laugh
thanks anyway I have the answers I need and your advice was a little off the mark !

Talk to the EHO's that are local to the site as different areas sometimes have different 'takes' on a subject so talk to the horses mouth
Most of these sites do not have a 12 month occupancy licence so the occupiers go to Spain etc for the winter and the 12 month licence requires a lot more £ to be paid out by the occupiers, if that is, the local council will grant the 12 month licence

Still don't see what the regs have got to do with this cold snap. Pipes do freeze, irrespective of the regs.
