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.

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. See latest updates on thameswater.co.uk 'network latest'

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.

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.
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.

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.

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

Hi

We live on L Lane opposite Dulwich library & have been without water since early this morning, but in the

last 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....!

    • Pickup your dogs shit off the street, it's so simple. Don't own a dog if you cannot do this basic service. Pathetic. Cleaning my shoes of dog shit for the 2nd time this month. What's going on? 
    • Hi SpringTime, I completely understand the concern for protecting birds, but using bells on cats is a bit more complicated. While they may reduce hunting success, they're not always effective & can cause stress for some cats, who are highly sensitive to sound. A better solution is to ensure cats are kept indoors during peak bird activity & providing plenty of enrichment at home to satisfy their hunting instincts. There's a terrible misconception that cats do not require as much mental & physical enrichment as dogs do. But they do, if not more so.
    • But we can train them to kill the foreign invaders, green sqwaky things, and the rats with feathers 
    • Hi Nigello, Many spayed/neutered & microchipped cats actually don't wear collars, as they often go missing & can pose risks.  Microchipping is far more reliable for reuniting lost cats with their guardians. Some of our clients even keep sacks of collars on standby because their cats frequently return without them - a comical but telling example of how impractical collars can be. A major contributor to unspayed/unneutered cats & kittens is purchasing from breeders, where these measures are often overlooked. Adopting from shelters, on the other hand, ensures all precautionary steps - like spaying/neutering, microchipping, as well as vaccinations - are already in place.
