3rd Jan 2007 Water shut off New Years DayThe drop in pressure was caused by the back of the fire hydrant next to Westcroft being blown clean off. It was fixed on the same day as Anglian Water was contacted by over 10 residents, some of who had no water at all (because they are on pressurised systems). The engineer informed me that the isolating valve for Crowfield is broken in open position and that to turn off the water to facilitate the repair, he had to use the valve that also cut off water to Syresham (for the half hour water was totally shut off). Emergency numbers for Anglian Water are listed on this site under local services.
