Hi folks,
We have a slow leak around the old stop tap in the lead pipe coming into the building and need to isolate the pipe further up the run.
I had Bristol Water out this morning tracing the run with a metal detector and pipe/ stethoscope for water, running the water and just listening where it went which was low tech cool.
Anyway... Bristol Water will install a meter (and stopcock) in the pipe outside for free. We then have 2 years to decide if we want the meter and could get it removed to go back onto our current 'rates', therefore gaining a free stopcock.
I can put in this request today and they should be able to do this within a couple of weeks ( its a day job) meaning the disruptions will be over prior to reopening in September and we will be leak free. The benefit it also that the water supply will be almost entirely within copper pipes instead of about 15m of lead pipe. To do this there will be a new copper pipe run aloong the top of the skirting behind the bar.
There really isn't another option but I felt I should flag it up in case anyone has concerns.
The few extra hours of plumbers work within the building is an additional cost but we're developing a good working relationship with this team and they are popular with the vols.
Unless I hear otherwise I'll lodge the meter request at the end of the day. Jo
