Penguin68 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 There is a known problem - reported initially as effecting (at least) Underhill Road (the part parallel to Wood Vale) - Thames is suggesting that it will take minimum 2 hours to restore service - they said that they had engineers on the site of the leak.

youngone Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 thanks for the reply. I'd checked the Thames website but it's not marked on there yet. Fingers crossed it's back on soon.

Tamer Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 We have no water in Belvoir Road and Thames Water have no record of any reports or issues in the area. They say 4 hours max for it to be investigated.

JDR Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 The first report got to them at 12.15 so if no water by 6.15 they have a statutory responsibility to provide bottled water ( man a at Thames water informed me earlier) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/49789-is-anybody-elses-water-off-in-wood-vale/#findComment-786390 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin68 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I have now been told there is a leak in Forest Hill (but that might be Forest Hill Road - who knows?) - mains water turned off just after 3.00 - so my trickle on Underhill is now an empty space.There appear to be leaks all over - I passed one being 'dealt with' (men standing round a gusher) on the corner of College Road and the A205.The Thames Water 'live' map shows none of this - their recorded messages say there are no known problems in SE22 - I have asked them to correct this as it is just wasting their operatives time as each person who finds problems reports them - with no other evidence that any fault is known about.They can't, or won't, now give any estimate of repair times - but suggest (so far) that it won't be 'days'.I think that the repair guys are getting on with things - but their front office support (nice people that they are) is hopeless - they seem to have no access to information - but have to go away and ask someone each time.

Supersue Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Just called Thames Water (1835). There's a recorded message for SE23 that there's a broken main on Wood Vale that they are working to fix. They will post a further update at 2030. Phone number is 0800 316 9800.

carpediem1991 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Spoke to the guys on site. Wood Vale leak fixed but major leak on Underhill now. They are off to fix that and said we should have water tonight.

JDR Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I spoke to the call centre staff who said the Overhill Road leak will take 3-4 hours to fix. They are way over their statutory times for water provision so have allegedly blocked off the burst main ( though it sounds like there are several) and are flushing water in from a reservoir. It can take an hour for that to reach homes. They asked us to call back if no water by 8.15. Feeling very grumpy now ( and hungry, children in bed, hubbie not home, not enough water to make pasta) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/49789-is-anybody-elses-water-off-in-wood-vale/#findComment-786465 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tallulah71 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I got a text from Thames water letting me know. Saw the water gushing down the street and now they're drilling to try to solve the problem. There are ovens or take- aways so I'm sure kids will live without their pasta..it really isn't the end of the world Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/49789-is-anybody-elses-water-off-in-wood-vale/#findComment-786497 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clare11 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 The leak in Overhill is opposite my house. Workmen here now. Looks like they onto it. We only have a very small flow of water. Apparently it was like a river earlier. Footpath is buckled from the pressure.
