IlonaM Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Hi all,Is anyone else having problems with their water today? The water went off for about 30-60 mins yesterday lunchtime and this morning the pressure is low.Thames Water live [http://www.thameswater.co.uk/thameswaterlive/index.htm[ is reporting a leak at Wood Vale/Lordship Lane so this might be affecting the supply to the bottom of Underhill I suppose.

IlonaM Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Just phoned Thames Water : there is a burst main in Sydenham Hill SE23 which is having a knock-on effect in SE22 and affecting a wide area. They confirm that engineers on site.

IlonaM Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 The customer services rep at Thames Water said that the Live Map wasn't very 'live'! She directed me to 'network latest' which I haven't found yet...Looking at the Live Map - it has been updated - big red area covering bottom half of Underhill/Melford/Wood Vale/bottom Overhill - with news that repair is underway.

dirac Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Ahh so that explains why my friends are coming round mine for a shower! They are on LL end or Fiern rd (not sure how to spell it!)

Siduhe Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 It's the same leak as yesterday, on London Road/Sydenham Hill nr the Horniman. The temporary repair they did yesterday has failed so they need to do a further fix (according to Thames Water).

Siduhe Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Just driven past Thames Water people who appeared to be fitting stand pipes at the junctions of Overhill and Melford with Lordship Lane. If that's what they are doing, suggests this may be a while to fix yet.

JW Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I'm sorry for those of you affected by this. Just to let you know that you can claim compensation from your water company in situations like these.

East Dulwich Angst Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 No water at all at top end of Upland rd but a neighbour has spoken to Thames water in the last few minutes & they said that even though they will not finish repairs today, we should have running water in about an hour as they're going to reroute it.

IlonaM Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 That's good to know. I was getting worried when stand-pipes were mentioned.

Siduhe Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Just got a similar update from TW, they are trying to reroute and inject water into the system, both so they can get the water on and repair the leak, but "it's not going quite to plan". Aim is still to get water back on by this afternoon.

muffins78 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Apparently they rerouted it yesterday but it hasn't worked! This was based on whatever work they did on LL yesterday - looks like we getting different stories from them!

Jamma Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 By now I really ought to know to start stockpiling water towards the August! This happens so often at this time of year. Anyone remember the 3 day drought of 2003??!I know it's not entirely Thames Water's fault but they could handle these incidents better with accurate & consistent updates.

M.Red Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Hi,I am on Lordship Lane Lane Estate and we have nothing at all- I have overheard neighbours saying the same thing. Does anyone know how long this might be for, as in most likely and worst case? Obviously the last thing they tried did not work. Has anyone had any communication about this from anyone? Before when this has happened they brought around bottles of water- will they do that again? I am not very well, would love a shower but more urgent than that do not have much drinking water left. Do I need to be asking someone to bring me something around- I do not want to ask anyone to change their plans to help me out if it will be back on soon... Thanks in advance Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/120554-no-water-yesterdaylow-water-pressure-this-morning-underhill-rd/#findComment-1040334 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busmum79 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 HiWe live on L Lane opposite Dulwich library & have been without water since early this morning, but in thelast 5 mins our kitchen tap has started running again- v low pressure trickle, but it's something...Fingers crossed this is the start of things going back to normal, as it's been a dismal bank holiday here with a poorly baby and a potty training toddler!Let's hope....!
