People who lost their water supply during the floods in Gloucestershire have been told they will not be able to claim compensation.
Severn Trent said the events were "completely unprecedented" in the water industry and that normal rules for compensation would not apply.
The company said it was giving £3.5m to communities affected by flooding in lieu of compensation. The cash will be given to the local authority to spend.
Maybe i am being cynical but I wonder how much of that money will actually go to the victims.
