Water at home
When your water comes, how much, and whether you buy tankers. Shown only as ward totals.
How we handle what you send
- No names, no sign-in, and we don't keep IP addresses.
- Location comes from your phone only if you agree; otherwise from a place you search for, or a pin you put on a map. For bus stops, your location only finds the nearest stops and is never sent.
- Photos are made smaller and their hidden location data is removed on your phone, before sending.
- Answers are shared as open data under CC BY 4.0; photos are shown on the website but not in the download.
