We are on Tyrrell Road, close to Barry Road. Tried to turn on the tap just now, but nothing came out.


Anyone else with this and anyone with any idea what I ought to be doing if it carries on.


I am assuming its a burst watermain or something I suppose.


Thank you!

There was water gushing out again on LL this morning 7.45am (S of Barry Road junction). Bit of a major brook coming out from various points under pavement. You could almost imagine you were in the middle of Wales somewhere if not for the trucks thundering by.


May be connected, may not.


The bus stop continues shut with all the rest of the water works along this stretch. East Dulwich: A River Runs Through It.

If I'd phoned the water 'company' (calling them a company infers some sort of competence) I'd have been put through to a robot which would ask me to enter my postcode, it would misunderstand the first time, eventually I'd get a message saying no recorded works in the area. Then I'd have to phone back and be put on hold for ages before speaking to a human who would similarly know nothing of the situation even though quite clearly there's low water pressure in my taps and I'd like to know if the water's going off at any time today.

Louisiana's supplied all the info I need without the waste of time and money involved in phoning Thames. Thankyou.

And why do they charge you for phoning to report a leak etc, seems really cheeky.

Just noticed that my water supply is suddenly very low on pressure, so there's almost none coming out. Does anyone know if there's work going on in the vicinity of Ulverscroft/North Cross Rds?


Thought I'd check and give it an hour or two before phoning Thames Water.

I don't know if the works being carried out Thames Water on Dunstans Road have anything to do with it but they started work this week and will continue throughout Feb. Residents have been advised drinking water could be cut off for some periods although promised to let us know when.

    • Thanks for that - none  of mine  have been Mordena - whilst vulnerable cat, think I will just take my chances… Will be having flu though - certainly not by choice - much prefer not to but in vulnerable group.. Avoided them until last year…. Luck of drawer if you are as sick as fog  or just sore arm … assume - god knows - that flu jab is same throughout country.       
    • Wow, that is what it costs for one prisoner. So they get full board and lodging, 24 hour  monitoring  in over populated prison, we are led to believe, minimum exercise, assume a tv in each cell provided - in USA it is together with wash hand basin and c toilet - some have showers as well.   Clearly this amount of money takes  into account overstretched and overworked prison officers, protection for them, counselling which is, in my opinion a bare minimum dealing with prisoners in all settings. Do if Sweden can look outside the box, why can’t we? Or are we just not bothered at all / read statistics some where that reoffending is normal and to be frank, with economy as it is at the moment re employment, cost of living and homelessness..not surprised they reoffend to get back inside - food provided, roof over your head - much better than street living, mixing with wrong crowd, trying to get roof over your head, find a job where 90 % won’t employ you as been inside..
    • @beansprout The Swedes seem to have a useful strategy with regard to offenders  which has reduced repeat offending.  I agree that prison time for minor offences is a complete waste of time. Even worse is that prisons are "colleges of crime" where inmates learn about how to be do crimes and worst of all, become exposed to drug taking. I wouldn't advocate having chain gangs as in the USA but some strategy for getting them into say manual work under supervision might be useful - especially if it came with a modest wag. This would be significantly cheaper than the £51,100 it costs per year for  keeping one in jail.
