Title: Local Water Authorities service
Post by The_Trician on Nov 8^th, 2004, 2:25pm

Guys,

anyone had supply pressure problems and have consequently had to involve their local water authority to investigate?
Is there a charge for the service, are they helpful?

Anyone got a contact number for Severn-Trent?

Well they came, poked around for a bit with a metal detector & shovel. Checked pressure & flow, and have decided to put a new 'boundary box' in, whatever one of those is!
Road'll be closed for a morning - which'll piss the locals off but hey - I'm self-employed and don't give a sh*t!
