A pub landlord is at his wits end after a water pipe leak caused him to lose up to £20,000, he claimed. James Miller, who owns the Trewern Arms in Pembrokeshire with his wife Angie, said his village pub had been without water at least five times in just seven months.
Each time there's a leak, they either have to close the pub and guest rooms because there's no water supply or customers don't arrive because Welsh Water have closed the road to fix the pipe. The frustrating thing for the Millers is that it happens over and over again. Even more, the previous owners of the pub have contacted Mr Miller and said they experienced the same issues too.
The water pipe supplying the village of Nevern and the pub leaks almost once a month and each time, engineers dig up the road to fix it. Mr Miller said he's asked Welsh Water to do something more permanent but said he'd been told the pipe isn't on their planned works.
