However it appears that similar issues of tree roots are evident in the down-stream drainage system which is owned and maintained by Thames Water. They have been made ware of this issue within their piped system this morning and have given us a Job number - ( Ref 00414706 ) They have informed us they will attend and carry out an investigation within 24 hours.
