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....!

    • When I had a property with a basement there would often be a pool of water in the centre. I was told it was related to the fluctuating height of the water table in the area (se22) and would not become a problem and the only way to get rid of it would be to get the whole place completely tanked. 
    • We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
