Impact of 31,000 East Sussex properties without water ‘drastic’ for businesses
The impact of 31,000 properties being without water in East Sussex will be “drastic” for businesses, as it falls on an annual festival which thousands usually attend, a councillor has said.
Southern Water said the disruption in St Leonards-on-Sea and some areas of Hastings, due to a burst water main, started on Thursday and is expected to continue into Sunday.
One hotel in Hastings has resorted to flushing toilets with sea water, East Sussex County Councillor Godfrey Daniel said.
We’re supplying more than 6,000 vulnerable customers who are on our priority service register in the affected area, and will investigate any issues where people who are on our list to receive water haven’t
