Water problems

    Apologies if this is the wrong forum but hoping for some information or advice

    We live in rented accommodation and the landlady has been of no assistance

    Our water goes off each day for a period of time meaning showers, dishwashers etc. are all out of action for a large portion of the day.

    The water pressure is not great and it is a ghost estate with the developer not doing nothing anything for its upkeep.
    Usually you can hear the water system gurgling away so we know there is no flow of water given the quietness that is there

    Any plumbers or DIY enthuaiasts out there have any ideas what the problems are and how they can be fixed??

    Thanks!!

    Edit: MODS could you move to the plumbing sub forum please?!

    Not sure if this is your problem...but if the water is from a well it maybe the water pump in well..i have a rented property and the water used to shut off constantly...some one had to go to pump house abd reset it, then it would go again...eventually it had to be replaced...it costs residents about €4k with labour and digger etc..

    To update this its a private estate that's a ghost estate apparently there's an outstanding bill on the pump that's the responsibility of the developer but he's washed his hands of it so now we've still no water and apparently no where to turn

    You have good grounds to break your contract and just walk away.

    the good thing is we are leaving at the end of the month but that is coincidental to this. Still, means that we've a few weeks without water and its a disaster of a job
