I received a notification from Thames Water explaining that the water supply would be switched off for a short time last night between 23:00 and 02:00 - this being to upgrade the water pipes on Overhill road.

Pressure was low initially early this morning but was after letting the water run for 20 seconds, it was back to normal pressure.

There?s a leak at the LL end of Overhill that?s now quite heavy and running down into the hill. I reported it today but it does like quite major and is lifting the road surface in places.

I noticed this too and have reported it.

There must be a huge amount of pressure beneath the road to lift the bitumen surface and water is coming out of the gaps. I am preparing myself for a possible burst mains pipe?

I am pleased to report Thames Water acted very swiftly on this.
