Water update. Lead water pipe runs through my property but I'm not connected to it, looks like it services other houses on the row. No forbidden water for me. Still my disaster to fix as advised by United Utilities.
Worryingly the water is pissing out right by the external wall brickwork - so whomst knows for how long / what horrors lie beneath.
Managed to clamp a cut up bit of tyre (RIP Conti contact speed) which has just seemed to slow it slightly. I could tighten further but I'm paranoid about the thing shearing / making worse as I can't isolate the supply. For now I empty buckets periodically crawling under the boards hoping that the plumber I spoke to arrives..
