I have finally had an explanation about why the water pressure in Calle Nervion is so low and frequently not flowing at all.
According to Galasa, when the houses were connected to the water supply and within the original contracts, Galasa stated that there was low water pressure due to the old pipework, connecting that street to the main pipe, being of a much smaller diameter than the main pipe. This obviously results in a knock on effect to the pressure and the supply.
They have said that they, together with either the developer or original landowner are looking at resolving this issue but replacing the old pipe with a new larger diameter pipe but that the cost of that will have to borne by the residents.
Update
I have been communicated by residents of Calle Nervion who tell me that this is a load of rubbish! I will pursue next week with the councillor responsible.

Large pipe to small pipe resulting in low pressure? Nonsense!
ReplyDeleteAnything in the residents contracts with Galasa regarding receiving substandard water supplies? No!
Residents responsible for the cost of pipework beyond their properties? Read your own contracts Galasa then stop making excuses (of which their have been many over the years) and fix our water supplies.
