Reading has low riverside ground, while its streets mix dense Victorian terraces with new-build estates. That brings high water tables, ageing pipes and build-over problems.
Reading sits where the Kennet meets the Thames, so parts of it have a high water table. Runs on the floodplain tend to take in groundwater and silt. Older terraces keep their clay drains, while extensions and infill add build-over and displaced-drain issues.
