Kent Water Crisis Deepens | Sheffield News

from Sheffield News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Thousands of homes in Kent are facing no water after a temporary instrument failure at a Tunbridge Wells treatment plant caused a critical drop in storage — with higher ground areas hit hardest. South East Water has deployed bottled water stations, one already open in Tunbridge Wells, with more to follow, hoping to restore full service by tomorrow evening. This isn’t the first time — similar outages plagued the region in May and last winter due to leaks, bursts, and power cuts. Meanwhile, the company faces a £30.5 million penalty for repeated service failures, a cost borne by the firm, not its customers.
