cala homes - wooldridge demolition - water supply for telephonehouse site
The water supply for spraying on site seems again not to be sufficient - the tube is kinked. Dampening to prevent dust looks more like a symbolic gesture.

Are we right in questioning the adequacy of water supply

  • during the construction period ?
  • for the fire brigade ?
  • for the existing residents who suddenly have to share the existing infrastructure ?
  • for future residents of the extreme high-density development ?
What precautions will be taken that during a drought we do not end up in impossible situations?

The MPs also heard that the problem of supplying water to the homes and giving them proper sewage facilities had not been given proper consideration.
