I did do a search for loss of water but got no results so forgive if this has been asked.... So, we have recently had a situation of total loss of water to site, how long is reasonable for wealfare would you operate for? 300+ people? Morally......ethically..... Personally my opinion is unless the fault can be identied more or less straight away and possible fixed within 30 minutes I would say close.... Thoughts???

Before closing have you considered the likes of bottled water for drinking and bowser for flushing toilets or portable toilets. If your water was turned off in your home by the water undertaker, would you move out or would you look to manage, at least for a while.

If you supply bottled water and provide access to suitable alternative toilet facilities, then as long as you need to I should think.

30 minutes is very premature Drinking wise the local shops, supermarket or cash & carry etc can be raided for bottled supply
The real limitation is going to be toilets (rather than urinals) - after that last flush it is not pleasant to have material sat for a prolonged period.
Problem is as soon as you ask staff not to use them they all need to go. Employees could be allowed off-site to adjacent friendly neighbours or you may be lucky and have a water company that can jerry rig a hydrant supply even just to fill buckets to flush the loo's.
Longer term issues they have bowsers that can be wheeled in

QUITE! If the UK Government asks drivers not to stockpile fuel, what happens? [Security image appears to be X rated]

This is of course where contingency planning comes in: assume what is the worst that can happen and plan for. In case of loss of water supply you have a supplier of bottler water and temporary toilet facilities all lined up. You can also have a services company on call to deal with the loss of the water supply and get it fixed asap. Of course you may have to pay them a retainer so that you can get them on site immediately. Then, some people think that contingency planning is a mug’s game…
