Thousands of people have been left without water on Sunday due to an issue at a Thames Water treatment works.
Thames Water apologised to residents in Godalming, Surrey, and said it was investigating.
Jeremy Hunt, the MP for the area, said a major incident had been declared. He posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, that he was very concerned and had spoken to the CEO of Thames Water.
It follows issues caused by Storm Ciaran at Shalford water treatment works, Thames Water said.
Mr Hunt said he was told by the CEO at 2.50pm that 13,500 customers did not have water and a further 6,500 were expected to lose supply shortly.
Bottled water stations have been set up at the Crown Court car park in Godalming and Artington park and ride in Guildford.
Thames Water said it was also delivering bottled water to vulnerable customers.
Thames Water said its engineers were on site and tankers were being used to pump water into its supply network.
A Thames Water spokesperson said: “We’re sorry to those people who have no water or lower pressure than normal.
“[We] are doing all we can to get things back to normal as quickly as possible.”
Typical Thames Water, one of the most useless companies in the country. Constant unregulated spewing of shit into watercourses, ridiculous increases in the pay of their executives, missing targets on reducing pollution and sewer flooding, and now can’t even serve all their customers with running water. A third world company with first world payment for their top brass.
Sums up the shitty infrastructure in this country when they can’t supply water due to too much water. Next week, hosepipe bans…
It’s ok, rather than flushing your toilet, just do everything in a bucket, and then throw it into the newest river. Just like Thames Water.
To busy dumping sewage into rivers to supply water.
Thats just a bad look. Pretty sure it took the enormous 2007 floods to disrupt water supplies for Thames water’s direct opposite in severn trent. To be humbled by any water company isn’t great
Something, something privatisation is good, something, something.
turdidity. hur hur hur.
But… But… But… The free market economy introduces competition that drives down prices and increases service through competition… And…. And… it’s really not selling off the country’s publicly owned assets to Tory favourites so ex MP’s can have non executive directorships after their political careers are over….. Honestly!
