They keep lying about what they're doing... we're in Honor Oak Road and as a result of their engineers last night, our main is now leaking into the street. No water whatsoever in our block and hundreds of litres of water wasted.

Twitter has been especially handy to vent.

Don't accept their nonsense about the weather causing demand to be higher etc etc. It's like the electric companies moaning that everyone puts their kettles on after Corrie. They should just deal with it.

I've heard (but I've no idea if it's correct) that water companies regularly reduce pressures to save their ancient mains (that they should have replaced decades ago!)
