I am deeply disappointed that many homes remain without water. I know this length of time has caused households real difficulties.
South East Water this morning are saying they are hopeful that for many areas the water will be back this afternoon. Obviously this is not a guarantee but they have assured me that the system is refilling.
Many constituents have raised wider issues with me regarding South East Water's response. I will be taking this up with South East Water but in the immediate term I want South East Water to be completely focussed on fixing the issues and re-establishing supply.
