Emergency repairs at Crosby pump station
We regret to inform you that our Crosby pump station has experienced an emergency repair that requires shutting off the water supply to the Brixton reservoir, which receives supply from the Crosby system.
In order to minimise the outage period, repairs will take place this evening when the supply from Crosby reservoir will be closed at 21:00. We estimate that repairs will be completed by 06:00 tomorrow morning, on 23 June 2023. During this time, the outlet of Brixton reservoir will also be closed. Pumps to the Brixton tower will be isolated as the reservoir levels decrease.
During this period, customers may experience reduced water pressure or a complete loss of water supply.
