Summary
South East Water has restored supplies to 15,300 properties in Kent but approximately 400 properties remain without water due to drinking water storage tanks reaching critical levels. The company blames the disruption on high demand during a week-long heatwave and a burst water main impacting around 182 properties. The water minister is in contact with water firms in the region. Customers with supply are urged to use water only for essential purposes like drinking, washing, and cooking.
