No water in any cold taps in apartment

Marianne2

Since 9 o'c tonight there has been no water in any of my cold taps both in kitchen and bathroom. There is water in hot taps although pressure seems to be reduced. I live in apartment block but don't know if other apartments are affected. Just wondering is this likely to be a problem within my apartment?

difficult to tell without some info:
whats in your hot press over the immersion cylinder
The kitchen cold is from the rising main which may be off.

The cold in bathroom should not be from rising main but maybe it is.
Does the toilet flush?
have u an elec shower?

Hi...just checked toilet and it did flush. Don't have electric shower. Not quite sure what you mean by what's above cylinder..in laywoman's terms there are a lot of vertical pipesagainst the wall behind cylinder with 4 red horizontal 'bars' on the 4 left pipes & a red vertical bar on another. Sorry I can't be more technical but I haven't a clue about these things!

Looks like u don't have ur own dedicated cold water tank over the hot water cylinder press, I presume its a single story APT.

Did toilet cistern refill?

Puzzled by horizontal bars

Can u take some pictures and put them maybe up on flicker and then post a link here but as you have less than 50 posts u will need to put a few blanks in the url such as www . flicker . com or use an X for the full stops.
Back tomorrow.

I'm on 2nd floor of a 3 storey apartment block. It's rented so if water not back tomorrow I'll have to contact the landlord...no cistern didn't refill.

Hi again..I have just spoken to girl in another apartment and she has no water either so it's obviously not just mine..which I'm glad to hear!! Thanks though for trying to help..hopefully it will be sorted tomorrow!

no worries, nothing like a hot flush, if no cold water!!
