I would agree with this.


I wouldn't.

Water suppliers must provide an average of a 7 metre static head (~0.7
bar?) at the customer premises in accordance with the 'Water Supply and
Sewerage Services (Customer Service Standards) (Amendment) Regulations
1996' (available at
http://www.legislation.hmso.gov.uk/s...63065_en_1.htm).

Furthermore, many suppliers aim to raise their minimum to greater than
this, and also to provide a minimum average flow rate (10m and 9lpm
respectively for Sutton and East Surrey Water).
