Thames Water announced that water supply has been fully restored to properties in Croydon and Streatham impacted by a broken pipe on Commonside East. The damage had caused low pressure and water outages for homes in several areas, including CR0, CR2, CR4, CR7, and SW16, for two days. The leak was contained, and water was successfully rerouted from other pipes. Ongoing repairs have necessitated lane restrictions to ensure safety. Thames Water warned of potentially lower water pressure during peak times until all repairs are complete.
Thames Water confirmed that all properties in Croydon and Streatham affected by the broken pipe now have water supply restored. The pipe, located on Commonside East, caused homes in CR0, CR2, CR4, CR7, and SW16 to experience low water pressure or no water for two days. A spokesperson stated that water pressure may still be lower than normal during peak times, but will improve after repairs are completed.
Thames Water rerouted water from other pipes successfully to restore supply after shutting off the leak on Commonside East. An excavation is currently in progress to repair the damaged pipe.
To ensure safety during the repair work, Thames Water implemented a lane restriction on Commonside East. A spokesperson urged motorists to allow extra time while travelling in the area to avoid traffic delays.
Thames Water expressed apologies for the inconvenience caused by the repairs and reassured that traffic management measures were established to guarantee the safety of both workers and the public.
