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.

    • Yep Monday is family festival but I think it would be churlish to avoid this on principle and if you are free at least check it out.  I was simply responding to a comment that there were not free festivals.  I've no strong feelings about Gala, and whilst I could hear it, it stopped around 11 and I've experienced worse.  Volunteering at Glastonbury and at Shambala and that bloody drum and base going on till 4 in the morning.  I'm aware Gala affects others far more but conflating this with LTNs and with Lambeth council was strange.
    • Last night was a different kind of event entirely though...  
    • We can all be cynical but I hope you or others will pop over to the free festival and share your views.  I'd go but I am away.  It looks great.  (Note I don't know why some had to post their disgust on the events page - I expect many locals will go to the free event and some to the Gala itself).
