Water pressure

So, what is the minimum pressure they are obliged to provide? I would expect to find this on the OFWAT site. My net connection is currently very bad so can't look myself. Who is the regulatory authority in this case? OFWAT. Can you buy something to measure pressure at the kitchen tap or would a L/min flow rate be as good? I think they are only obliged to provide a static pressure of around 4 or 5 bar. There are too many variables for a l/min flow to be a useful measure. But having said that I do have a vague memory that the kitchen tap should be able to produce xl/min... I am thinking that maybe a series of readings taken over a long period may help to get something done. I would expect them to install their own monitoring kit rather than rely on customer readings. The power companies will if you complain about the voltage being out of spec. Probably have to jump up and down on the right person though. When I couldn't find our external stopcock and suspected low pressure the Water Inspector who came out was very helpful. -- Cheers Dave. pam is missing e-mail |
