I have noticed that for over a week water has been pouring out of the curbside near number 16 Oglander. Does anyone know if this has been reported to Thames Water? I had assumed someone local to the leak would have alerted the water company, but without any response it looks like it might have been neglected.

Yes I live a few doors up from the leak and have reported it too - I assumed lots of other people has too as it's been going for over 2 weeks now. It's very odd. Maybe it's not considered an urgent enough problem and they haven't got round to it yet. The road is also having roadworks done this week and they will soon be down as far as that leak so presumably they will have to do something about it then.

Don't know if this is relevant, but Thames Water were really overstretched at the time of the previous snow/freeze, and I don't know how they decide their priorities.


I imagine they have another load of leaks now, plus some (as this one?) left over from before.


It would make sense to do it in conjunction with the roadworks though I guess, but who knows. Maybe if somebody phoned they could get more info?

    • My wife has been complaining about this actually; we are on Crawthew Grove, it started a few years back, then seemed to stop, starting up again circa last September. I'm normally at work around the time she hears it most - between 11pm and 2AM, but even when I'm home I just can't hear it, which she just can't believe, so I guess it depends how sensetive your hearing is... Would love to get to the bottom of it too!
    • Perhaps like Malumbu they compost their food waste?
    • Obviously, but they may be wrong. Not only are we coming up to another population renewal drop after the continuing effects of the baby bulge generation enter a trough,  - secondary schools are closing across many boroughs - but birth rates in the UK continue to fall (not just absolute births which are also falling as a function of the bulge unwind, but births per head). And foreign student numbers are also falling. Additionally the costs of being a student are rising, which encourages more students to go to universities close enough that they don't need accommodation but can live at home. Bubbles burst, and this may be one of them.
    • Exactly. There's also a much easier way to find out how demand and supply are interacting for student housing: look at how goddamn expensive it is! It's a huge barrier to entry for students who want to study away from home. If the price of student housing cratered, this would be great news for everyone except property developers because it would cut housing costs for students and reduce some demand on "mainstream" housing in the wider market (because students won't be looking for houseshares). These property developers (and their financiers) aren't shovelling millions of pounds into student housing because they think the market is going to crash and they're going to lose money! And if they do, it's not really my problem...
