    Washing Machine problem

    Hi, We just installed a washing machine, a relative did it who has done several during their lifespan and has never encountered any issues. However we have just moved into a new property and installed one, but we cannot get any water flow to it. Water around the house works fine, including the hot water. Any ideas??

    Dripping overflow on Block of flats

    Is it normal for a block of flats to have just one overflow ? Affinity water have been called out because the overflow is dripping and by the mess of the wall it’s been leaking for some time. Water company have said it’s my flat that’s leaking due to my excessively high water usage. I live alone and in Oct I was usually 477 litres a day which is very high considering I’m out all day. However since Oct I’m now usually approximately 1200 litres a day which is crazy. Hence water company saying the leak is mine. I’m struggling to understand how it’s possible to use this much water and why there is only one overflow for a block flats. Any advise /help would be greatly appreciated.
