I'll do a test to see how long it takes to fill a large bucket from the
main
supply stopcock where water comes in to the house...



I did the test at 8.30 this morning.

My main stopcock in the house is a 32mm bore quarter-turn valve*. I couldn't
take the water directly from the stopcock outlet. It had to first go through
a straight 2m run of 15mm pipe before I could discharge it into a bucket.
(*Note: There is also a 25mm quarter-turn stopcock at the water meter end of
the supply pipe.)

I comfortably filled two 15 litre buckets in one minute.
