Brixton water lane under water

Big flood coming down the hill

 

[Badgers]

Just heard this too but not looked outside yet.
Also heard Victoria Line has severe delays.
Oh well, at least it is not raining

 

[ajdown]

That would explain why I've just gone to run some water and nothing more than a pathetic dribble happened for a few seconds, then it stopped.

Arse.

Broken main - Thames Water say lots of people are without water.

 

[ajdown]

Strange though how my first thought was to check Urban rather than checking Thames Water's website.

 

[Badgers]

Tonnes of water flooding down by the lights at the church. Traffic not terrible but not great down Effra Road.

 

[bosie]

It's affecting the water in SE27 too!

 

[nick]

Tulse hill is also dry.

Which seems strange since there is a big reservoir off Palace Road and people say the leak is down the hill.

 

[Badgers]

This is Murdochs fault

 

[London_Calling]

It's well named then....


(((Tulse Hill)))

First post, so hello all.

It looks like there is a burst main on Brixton Hill up towards the prison. I live just off Josephine Avenue and there wasn't any water going down Water Lane when I left for work earlier.

 

[quimcunx]

Hello. Damn. I like it when the hill is closed. But these bursts keep happening when I'm away and it'll prob be sorted by the time I get back again.

No water Streatham Hill - and we're about 100 yards from the resevoir. Must be a total lack of pressure. Traffic chaos too - Looks like they're trying to divert traffic from the High Road past our house! I also checked here before Thames Water!

 

[Fingers]

Water seems to have returned in Tulse Hill albeit very low pressure.... oh spoke too soon.

 

[Greebo]

Slow dribble coming from the taps here (estate on Tulse Hill) - had a quick check and there should (I hope) be enough drinkable and flushable water to last until tomorrow morning.

Water mysteriously bountiful in Leander Rd

 

[dogmatique]

Back on, but pressure low.

 

[Winot]

Fine in Hayter Rd too.

Haven't there been 2 other burst water mains on Brixton Road this week (according to the traffic reports)? What's going on?

 

[ajdown]

That's it? They close a major road for a couple of inches of water that vehicles will have no trouble driving through? That's pathetic.

Took me 2 hours to get to work this morning. The drive normally takes 30-35 minutes.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Bloody phone hackers. Now it's the water pipes as well?
Political correctness gone mad is what it is.

Yeah bit it has ripped the road surface up, saw a load of resurfacing trucks heading up the hill when I went past.

 

[ajdown]

Actually on the A23? I thought the burst was on a side road.

The People of the East stand shoulder to shoulder with our Friends in the South at this time of trouble

Finally - the moat I asked for to protect us from the Hillites! Thank you Jebus

Don't you mean the moat I requested to stop the Great Unwashed from making it up the hill?

Looks like more than a few inches to me...

Blimey!

Please don't tell me it's the same area that's always going (ie. outside Tudor Close). I thought they replaced the pipes there last time so it wouldn't happen again
