South East Water to FINALLY turn on taps to thousands of homes as firm issues grovelling apology
South East Water (SEW) has stated that water has been restored to the majority of homes in Kent after over a week of disruption.
Up to 30,000 homes have been left without water across Kent and Sussex throughout the scandal, which began on January 10, due to burst pipes and power cuts caused by Storm Goretti.
SEW confirmed on Sunday evening that running water had now returned to the majority of the 4,500 homes in Harrietsham and Kingswood that were still without running water supply.
However, 500 homes are still experiencing intermittent supply, low pressure or no water at all following a fault at SEW’s treatment works.
SEW’s incident manager Matthew Dean said: “We’re sorry to customers currently impacted by the water supply interruptions across our network in Kent.
“Our team is on site to carry out repairs. We are working to complete this overnight to minimise disruption to customers.
“We would expect full restoration of supplies to impacted customers overnight.
“Tankers are still being used to inject water into storage tanks across Kent to continue balancing the network.
