Tuffstuff100 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Starting to get water on Overhill now :) Albeit slow and limited pressure Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/157028-no-water/page/2/#findComment-1148364 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin68 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Been back in Underhill (South of Camberwell Old Cemetery) for the last half hour, if on reduced pressure. It does take time for the pipes to re-pressurise. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/157028-no-water/page/2/#findComment-1148404 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bil Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 So frustrating! It's been 3 times in the last 3 months?? I need to start keeping a log.The chronic low water pressure issue each morning is one thing but having no water one day each month is unacceptable. Thames water need to sort out the root cause and stop applying plaster to the cracks!

uncleglen Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 The root cause is lack of forward planning and consideration for the utilities when building and conversion work is being done. Each dwelling has to have a separate mains supply and it is hilly around here. The water then has to be pumped at extra pressure therefore and the pipes give out. A normal sized house near North X road was converted and there was a boast of 5 bathrooms on the board outside.

Monkey Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Interesting to note Helen Hayes's concerns that Dawson's Heights' fire hydrants might be affected by the frequent water shortage problems...
