We are pleased to confirm that the emergency water main repairs carried out on Saturday 17 October were completed successfully, with the water supply to Medway, Seven and Thames Towers restored ahead of the anticipated 7:00pm deadline.
Following the significant disruption experienced during last year's water outage, Bloomsbury EMB worked closely with Birmingham City Council and Mears to ensure the necessary repairs were completed as quickly as possible, with suitable arrangements in place to support residents throughout.
During the water supply interruption:
We would like to thank all residents for their patience, understanding and cooperation during these essential repairs.
We would also like to recognise the efforts of Birmingham City Council, Mears and our own Bloomsbury EMB staff, who worked together to minimise disruption and ensure residents were supported.
Considering the scale of the repairs and the number of households affected, we are delighted with how smoothly the operation was managed.
Thank you once again for your patience and support.
Bloomsbury EMB

Bloomsbury EMB (Estate Management Board) is a tenant management organisation in Nechells, Birmingham, managing approx 610 social housing properties on behalf of Birmingham City Council. We have a management agreement in place with Birmingham City Council in order to deliver services to our Tenants. This includes ‘Neighbourhood Services’ and ‘Technical and Estate Services’.

Our offices are based on the Ground Floor of Medway Tower, Cromwell Street, B7 5BG. All staff are based here including our Customer Service Desk.

Bloomsbury EMB was the first Estate Management Boards set up in England, established in 1989. When the UK Government introduced the 'Right to Manage' regulations in 1994, the EMB wanted to use these to take formal responsibility for running the estate, but it took until 2000 to take on these powers through the negotiation of a formal management agreement.
