Frequently asked
Could old pipework be behind pressure problems in central Lydney?
It's possible, older lead or iron sections can restrict flow, so it's worth having the supply pipe assessed if pressure seems consistently low.
Does a high water table affect external drainage work here?
It can make soakaways less effective near the estuary, so drainage design in these areas should account for groundwater levels.
