No water yesterday/low water pressure this morning Underhill Rd

[IlonaM]

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.

[Miacis]

yes, v low water pressure here too - top end of Lordship lane by library

[IlonaM]

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'

No water on Wood Vale!

I've got no water at all now. Lordship Lane end of Upland Road.

Just had a look at the Thames Water website ... about as useful as a chocolate teapot!

[IlonaM]

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.

Ahh so that explains why my friends are coming round mine for a shower! They are on LL end or Fiern rd (not sure how to spell it!)

It's the same leak as yesterday, on London Road/Sydenham Hill nr the Horniman. The temporary repair they did yesterday has failed so they need to do a further fix (according to Thames Water).

Trickle of water in Barry Toad/LL end.

No water to flush the loo so will have to draw it from the water butt in garden

[Bic Basher]

No water on the Lordship Lane Estate.

[FriendsOfTheTerrapin]

Yep, low water pressure light on the power shower since yesterday - we are between Landcroft and Crystal Palace Roads.

[Siduhe]

Just driven past Thames Water people who appeared to be fitting stand pipes at the junctions of Overhill and Melford with Lordship Lane. If that's what they are doing, suggests this may be a while to fix yet.

I'm sorry for those of you affected by this. Just to let you know that you can claim compensation from your water company in situations like these.

[East Dulwich Angst]

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.

[IlonaM]

That's good to know. I was getting worried when stand-pipes were mentioned.

[Siduhe]

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.

[muffins78]

Apparently they rerouted it yesterday but it hasn't worked! This was based on whatever work they did on LL yesterday - looks like we getting different stories from them!

[Langdale]

No water on Friern Road (middle)

[Jamma]

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.

[bilksy]

Very low pressure towards the top end of crystal palace road

[slarti b]

Very low pressure in Woodwarde road at the moment.

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

[IlonaM]

I'm in much the same position as you M.Red with no water since this morning.

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....!
