Guy on the phone advised water will be probably restored late afternoon/early pm but no promises (however he said 99% sure within 24 hours). They are getting more engineers down - it's by the Grove. Complicated water main, but they are delivering palettes for the area.


We were meant to have an open day at our tennis club (Camber LTC) today with a massive BBQ - what an unfortunate day for this leakage to happen.

Just spoke to TW again.


JCB on its way to start digging hole. Police on site. Road closed. TfL on site. Broken 4" main. They haven't actually started digging yet, apparently. (This info was notified to TW cust services 15 minutes ago.)


The 6-hour legal guarantee for water only kicks in once they reach the main (by digging) and cut the supply, they say. NOT from when your water supply stops.


They say they have ordered a few pallets of water, but there are no locations agreed yet, and it will be first come first served (with a hint from the person that I spoke to that there won't be enough initially and they will order more later).

:-)

I'm sure you'll be fine, tash.


Back in the day, not so long ago (early 80s), I remember visiting the then Lambeth Walk public baths for a fantastic bathing experience. Hot water pressure to die for. I think it cost one-pound-something. You could do your laundry downstairs too.

A van with bottles of water is on LL by the shops opposite the Grove if you need any.


It's not affecting the Lordship Lane Estate which continues to have water supply. Can't say if it's affecting Dukes Court, but everything on the other side of LL down that end is cut off.

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
