Hi all,

Just moved into a new flat which is ex local authority and am struggling trying to work out the plumbing. I've taken some down of the plasterboard that boxes in the pipes in the bathroom and downstairs (below the bathroom) and there are a number of pipes, three of which are labelled EXS, CWS and DW. Does anybody know what they stand for? I'm assuming Cold Water Supply and possibly Drinking Water/Domestic Water or possibly Drain Waste but have no idea what EXS is.

Can anybody help with identification please

cheers,
 
Normally it's existing service, but with councils who knows
 
Is this flat in a multi storey block?

If so EXS, whatever it stand for, could well be a boosted supply from ground floor or basement storage tanks.
 
What size and material are the pipes?
Can ypu post pictures?
