JW's notices gave 2 end times for Alan Manor Reservoir. By the stated time, JW's boards showed the water back on none of the 2 that have passed
The water came back after the stated time 1 time; half of those times it was back within 83 days of it. For 1 of the 2, JW's boards have not shown the water back since. Each row is one end time a JW notice stated for one supply, in date order (hollow dot), against the first board on which JW reported the supply supplying fairly or better and off bypass (filled dot). This asks more than the end of an outage, which comes at JW's first report better than “poor pressure to no water” or “critically low”. An arrow: no such board yet. From 2 notices.
JW's reported status of the reservoir or tower, not measured water at taps. Boards from March 2025.

Past outages
Each row is one outage: a stretch of time JW reported Alan Manor Reservoir at “poor pressure to no water” or “critically low”, newest first. An outage has no reported end when JW's reports stopped before it ended, or when it was still going at JW's last report; its length is then a minimum.
JW reported no such outage for this supply.
What JW's boards cannot tell you
- Whether water reaches your street or your tap.
- Which streets lose water first: JW warns of higher-lying areas but does not name the streets.
- Why a supply ran low, unless a JW notice gives a reason.
- Pipe bursts, tankers and valve work, which are not on the boards.
