Water leak on Oglander Road


Recommended Posts

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?

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
