You can't flush the toilet or brush your teeth if the water company's supply is cut off.

Residents living on one side of the road cannot wash their toilets or brush their teeth after the water runs out.

About 70 people living on the same side of the North End village road rely on volunteer water trucks and hundreds of free water bottles.

For those living on the other side of the road, water flows freely from their taps in their homes.

Households deprived of water had no water due to long-standing reservoir problems caused by low groundwater levels in a South Oxfordshire village.

Locals living in the region that straddles the Buckinghamshire-Oxfordshire border claim the problem began in 2018, and no solution has been put in place, especially as drought sets in.

The lawn on the other side of the village near Henley-on-Thames is much greener.

Their water supply comes from a separate pipe so they remain unaffected by the drought, but the other half have to go without showers.

Caroline Evans, one of the local residents struggling with water shortages, said: miserable. It all started a few weeks ago when it was very hot and the water company was not very effective, in fact these problems she has been having since 2018.

``The water company should have addressed this issue sooner. I had to ask for water. The water supply was really bad and I had to push with my chibby for help. Communicating with them is really hard.

A water tanker reportedly refilled an underground reservoir on Monday evening, and by the afternoon of the following day  the water pressure had dropped again.

Mrs Evans, a former Buckinghamshire County Council employee, said there were two large leaks in the villages of Southend and Vicks that had not yet been repaired.

Mrs Evans continued, "You can't flush the toilet, but I've just learned that you can use bottled water to do that. I also use it to brush my teeth and boil vegetables."

“The longest period we went without water was two to three weeks in 2018.

"They don't even have staff. One of the workers here today has actually retired. workers were receiving bonuses, but the workers told me they were out, they were going to take pay cuts, it was ridiculous.”

Peter Langford, a 69-year-old local farmer, said:

"My fields are like prairies. This is worse than the drought of 1974. This is a long-term problem that has never been solved."

40} Mr. Langford's water supply stopped three days before him at about 7:00 p.m.

The beef farmer added: They provided us with bottled water.

"We've literally come to the point where we're considering using bottled water to fill livestock tanks. Every farm must be in danger today.

”This is the worst thing I have ever experienced and I will be living here for the rest of my life.

The Thames water workers told the villagers that they would empty the tanker truck by 1:00 pm, after which another worker was called to the police.

A Thames Water spokesperson said, ``We are sorry for our customers in areas with lower than normal water pressure due to technical issues as we do not have water in Stokechurch.

"We are using our tankers to increase supply to our North End customers, maintain water pressure for these customers, and address supply issues." We also deliver water bottles.”

The water company confirmed that 68 villagers were without water for a period of time. Did.
