Past outages
Each row is one outage: a stretch of time JW reported Brixton 2 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.
