Update on clean water leak on Devonshire road:

The Thames Water engineer came this morning and checked the water supply pipes of our house and 6 houses up and down our property on the same side of the road. He even rechecked some of the supply pipes where he could hear water running but it was water being used by consumers. He did not hear any leak from any of the supply pipes that he checked and rechecked.

However he confirmed that further up the road there is a leak on the main pipe at the level on 195/232 Devonshire road (195 being opposite to 232) and he said that the water is leaking on the two sides of the road (with more leak on the odd number side of the road), there is also visible water coming out from the cracks in the middle of the road. We saw this too by ourselves and what he said made sense.

On a separate note, I asked him if he was aware of any other leak on Devonshire Road and he replied no.

Next steps:
- The engineer assessement will be logged
- I will call Thames Water tomorrow to tell them that is is not a valve of supply pipe to repair at the level of 195 but the main pipe supplying the road at the level of 195/232. He advised me to chase Thames Water so that their contractors do the repair asap.

I hope this is helpful to the residents of Devonshire road.
