Hi

I live on the top floor of one of the blocks on the DKH Estate and have been experiencing extremely low water pressure in the morning (presumably when everyone needs to use it before they go to work) - between 0700 and 0930. It's so low , I cant use the shower.


This has been an ongoing problem but has got worse in recent works due to the leaks and burst water mains. Thames Water have been using this as the excuse for the problem (despite it being a problem for months).


I'd be interested to find out whether any one else is experiencing low pressure on the estate. It is proving difficult to get it fixed as Thames Water are claiming that they only have to provide sufficient pressure to the ground floor of any building and Southwark Council are saying its nothing to do with them.


Let me know if you are experiencing the same problem

Hi - this problem is affecting loads of people and, as you say, Thames Water are just rolling out the same line repeatedly. One thing that is apparently important to do in order to pressure them in to action is to lodge an official complaint - apparently phone calls and social media aren't logged as such.


Either by email or letter:

I'm having exactly the same problem and it seems to be around 6pm in the evening and 7ish in the morning. The cold tap runs fast but when I switch over to the hot tap there's very little pressure and the boiler is not sparking up. It has been getting worse recently and I did have Thames Water round a couple of years ago but they said it was my boiler. British gas said it was Thames Water. I'm not aware the ground floor flat has the same issues.
Things can only get worse. Everytime there is a new development, or houses turned into 2 or 3 flats etc the water has to be pumped at a higher pressure to get to your tap, and it is an uphill journey- as it is hilly around here. The construction around all the London suburbs has ignored the infrastructure problems and the powers that be- i.e. the people that grant the planning permission, are acting in a ridiculous manner imho, and it makes everybody's life a misery....just wait for the next burst water main.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
