Is anybody else's water off in Wood Vale?

[youngone]

My water is off and I'm just wondering if it is effecting anybody else or if it just my property?

thanks

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]

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.

we have the same and we are woodvale/forest hill rd...

[Tamer]

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.

There is someone fixing something on Woodvale but there is now a huge leak coming down Overhill Road... Not sure which one causing the lack if water here on Underhill...

[JDR]

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)

[Penguin68]

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.

Increasingly poor water pressure/supply on Hillcourt Road...

The leak is on overhill road, spoke to workmen- at least 2 hours (from 5pm) oh joy (again!!)

[youngone]

Has anybody noticed any water bottles or a tank being delivered by thames?

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.

Fourth at least.

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.

[AD]

I hope so, I got back from a run a need to wash!

[JDR]

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)

[Supersue]

Back on now 2045

I had it for about 30 seconds on Underhill half an hour ago and off since then.

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

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.

[carpediem1991]

Came back to normal water in Wood Vale now

[woodland]

I still have really low pressure which is affecting my shower and hot water this morning - anyone else?

[carpediem1991]

Was fine for me at 7am today.

[carpediem1991]

Any updates from anyone?
