Default Negative water pressure

. 97.132...

United Utilities say the water pressure delivered to the site is fine.
Bryant Customer Care are playing the foot dragging card (It's being dealt
with by our management/technical/legal team etc...).

Should UU be guaranteeing the water pressure to individual flats? Or is
it bad design on Bryant's part.


I had a similar problem with my flat in London.

TW told me that they were under no obligation to supply a particular
water pressure to an nth floor flat, only to ground level. If this causes
the pressure to be insufficient at higher stories then the flats ought to have
been built with a pump, usually to communual tanks on the roof.

However, it is very rare for the pressure to be anywhere near the
minimum amount and all of this should not be necessary. What is
the situation with your neighbours, (same floor, lower floor, higher
floor if there is one). Are you at the top of a hill (i was)?

(My problem when away as TW told me that they were increasing
the pressure anyway ands some month later this is what happened)
