My dads farm hasnt had any water for 9 days due to the next door farm having a split in their mains pipe .........................

The guy who owns the farm is in hospital having a knee op ,

So is your dad's farm fed from a private pipe that passes through this other farm first?

That's what I was thinking. So who do you pay for your water?

Shout "GET ORFF MY LAAAND"

Or, you could pop round to theirs and have a quick chat and explain that you're confused and want to help all parties - with their dad/husband being in hospital.

And I thought farmers were a friendly lot!

This is all very confusing

You need to establish exactly what is going on re your dad's supply. Surely he can't just be relying on the goodwill of the farm next door to supply water from his own supply coming off the mains? You need also to find out where the various shut off valves are and whose they are. Try and get a water board official on site to sort it out and tell you where your dad stands in all this. It may be that your dad will have to organise his own supply from the mains at the property boundary - is that far from property?

And get your mum to send a get well card to the guy in hospital and try and restore better relations
