water - where's it gone

[tiddles]

we are in friern road with no water this morning - who else is affected?

[damzel]

No water here either. Landells Road. Have you reported it?

[damzel]

Just rang water board. Recorded message says that there is a problem in SE22 which is currently being investigated. You can call 08459200800 for updates by recorded message.

[libbyer]

'n goodrich as well

[Brendan]

Me too.

Can you brush your teeth with beer?

[lozzyloz]

South Croxted road water mains has burst. Fortunately I filled the pool earlier this week.

[parpster]

Apparently it's the water main in Thurlow Park Road and will take all day to fix. So it the lido for a shower then.

[lozzyloz]

Ours is now back on, albeit at reduced pressure (Library End of LL).

[Fuschia]

Ours is back too, nr the Harvester

[Nero]

Reduced pressure near Goodrich School.

[SeanMacGabhann]

No pressure here at top of Friern Rd - everything is DOPE man...

oh - you mean WATER pressure?? Much spluttering from the tap when I put kettle on earlier but I had a shower without any bother

[annaj]

We were fine earlier, but now have low pressure.

I've filled every vessel I can find in the kitchen. I still remember waking up with a terrible hangover and no water on Rodwell road a few years ago. We thought it would come back fairly quickly, but it lasted days. We had to ring MrJ's parents and beg them to come and get us so we could shower :-$

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Add some iron and salt to your diet. Two medic in the house? Pah!

[Fuschia]

It's off again now. Luckily we have a stock of cheap bottled water for such contingencies.. plus the paddling pool happens to be full atm!

[ClareC]

Very low pressure in Goodrich! Managed a shower but it was interesting to say the least!!! Combi boilers don's seem to work well with dodgy water pressure :-(

How irritating!

[Fuschia]

I must say, there have been quite a few water failures since I've lived in ED - I guess it's the ancient system here in London. It's always a bit scary when our electricity or water fails - just think we can't even run the dishwasher! Makes me think of some of my travels and countries where there isn't clean tap water available at all. We do rather take it for granted, don't we?

Then think about if we were reduced to using water from a river.. then think about the countries where Nestle pushes baby formula on the populace .. and the number of babies who die as a result :-(

[Annasfield]

Good idea Brendan :)-D

[ClareC]

And now there is none...........:(

Beer it is :)-D

[Horsebox]

Not a drop left...

[Gilles]

Nothing here in Barry Road either

[ClareC]

Anyone know when its coming back?

[EdieF]

Thames Water's message recorded at 1.15 pm said they were aiming to restore supplies within the next three to four hours. So, fingers crossed....

[blainiac]

back on fully at 7pm according to Thames

[Andyng]

Was thinking or getting takeway as I have dirty dishes do you think

the local food shops are still serving food?

[redemily222]

Just called Thames again and they now say 8:30 to 9. They can't fix the burst mains so are rerouting from other supplies.

Lots of places open on Lordship Lane mind, although The Plough was closed when I went past there earlier
