Low water pressure- Heber Road

[Southeast Twenty Stu]

Is anyone else experiencing low water pressure on or around Heber Road this morning?

[JRK]

Yes we're on Silvester road and ours is bad, it was yesterday too. Might be to do with works on Crystal Palace road?

Came along crystal palace road by the leisure centre and water was just gushing out of a big hole in the road , looks like thames water had all ready been there at some point as 4 way  temporarily traffic lights are there at junction and barriers around the hole but nobody there to stop it , yet I got a £19 increase in my water bill each month ...

Thames Water is at the High Court today trying to get a £3bn loan extension sorted. If it isn't then they will go bust and go into administration (actually it's more complex than that). If I was a contractor supplier to them I might well not be doing work I might not be paid for until that's sorted. 

Doesn't help us ordinary Joe's who just live in their bailiewick of course. But who cares about us?

Heber School is closed as a result *slow hand claps*

Don’t forget that Forest Hill Rd is closed completely by Piermont Green thanks to yet another leak, so no 63 bus south of Rye Lane and 363 on diversion up Barry Rd.  Also there’s a large hole at the top of Forest Hill Rd at the junction with Honor Oak Rd and traffic control, again courtesy of TW.
At this rate, the area will be cutoff from the rest of London, as it will be surrounded by a moat. I wonder if anyone has costed how much T.W. costs London as a result of their frequent and endless failures. Still, shareholder dividends and management bonuses all courtesy of a captive market. As Private Eye would say, trebles all round!

East Dulwich Grove is currently closed to a Thames Water leak also, with diversions for the 37 and 42.

To be fair, my understanding (which may well be wrong) is that the whole of the London water system consists of antiquated Victorian pipes, and the whole lot needs replacing.

Because of the enormous potential  cost of doing that,  it just gets patched up as and when.

The other factor, of course, is that it should never have been privatised.

Only way to circumnavigate around TW's attempt at isolating those south of Piermont Green, i'd suggest are making use of the P12 or P13. 

Unfortunately no indication as too how long the three different "bursts" will take to be repaired and the obvious inconvenience it causes.
