I would have a go at chlorine disinfection first. It is supposed to be done
on new installations, but seems to be rarely done. I'd try taking off the
internal stopcock, and trying to feed a small plastic pipe (as used for
syphoning beer -- but longer) through the main as far as the outside
stopcock and using a funnel to fill the pipe with chlorinated water. There
are guidelines on how long and what strength solution to use, I think it is
100 ppm but ICBW, it's on the web somewhere.

Found some details, it's in BS6700 if you can find it.

Thanks for that mate, I dunno, looks like a tricky thing to get done.
The difficult part is getting the water out of the pipe before I
start, as well as finding a suitable pipe to insert.

Hey clot, hope youre around... would there be any good indications on
the street that the house is located on a balance point? I would have
thought that it would depend on water demand, so at some points in the
day the water could be 'balancing' outside one part of the street, and
at other times when the demand becomes greater on another part of the
road, it changes again?
