Shared separation scheme
What is a shared supply?
If you live in a terraced property, you may have shared supply. If you are not sure, try looking for the external stop tap which is usually located in the pavement or on the boundary of your property). If there is an external stop tap for every house then you are on single supply. If there is only one external stop tap for a block of houses then you share a supply with your neighbours.

Test your flow
If you think you have poor flow/pressure please follow these steps:
- Run the cold tap in the kitchen or downstairs bathroom/utility room
- Turn your internal stop tap off and on about six times (this is usually under the kitchen sink or downstairs utility room)
- Afterwards, have the kitchen tap open fully and time how long it takes to fill a 1-litre jug- if it takes less than 7 seconds you have good/sufficient pressure and flow into your property
- If it takes longer, you may have a problem with your flow/pressure please call us on 0800 085 8033.
