What the local water means for your plumbing: West Midlands
Birmingham's water is unusually soft for England because much of it travels by aqueduct from the Elan Valley reservoirs in mid-Wales. Step outside the city and it can become much harder, particularly where supplies come from local boreholes. Soft water is kind to taps and showers, but older homes across the region still have galvanised and lead pipework that plumbers find during bathroom and kitchen refits.
For a burst pipe or a leak through a ceiling, turn the water off at the stopcock and switch off electrics near the water if it's safe to do so before calling a plumber for an urgent visit. What to do about a burst pipe.
