The problem is that the street I am on is fed in two directions by the
water. The road is not levelled out either, we are on quite a steep
dip, so the two feeds are always 'colliding' outside my house, with
any sediment and dirt picked up along the way by the two flows having
nowhere to end up but my kitchen! Basically, the water does not move
along continuously. The water depot wont help me on this one either,
they feign ignorance.
