LOW WATER PRESSURE: Water pressure has been very low for weeks now, particularly at peak periods, highlights Steve Smith. Anecdotal evidence suggests low pressure is a problem throughout the village. Thames Water came out on January 2 and 4 and confirmed pressure is fluctuating in the main network. They suspect it is a faulty PRV (Pressure Release Valve) in the mains and will get it checked out. If this is the problem, it may take up to two weeks to fix it.Have you been having problems?
