Kent water supply issues resolved after three days

Water supply issues in an area of Kent have been resolved after properties were left without water for three days following a burst pipe at a treatment works.

People in Brenchley, Matfield, Pembury, Lamberhurst and surrounding villages began having issues on Thursday morning due to the fault on a key main from Bewl Water Treatment Works, in East Sussex.

On Friday, South East Water (SEW) said water would be restored to most of the 5,850 affected properties by the end of the day but it was not until Sunday that the company said it believed all affected areas were back in supply.

The firm apologised for the disruption and said it was continuing to release isolated air pockets in the system.
