Brighton Residents Without Water For 24 Hours After Burst Water Main

Tuesday, 15 September 2020 11:20

By Charlotte Baker @Ch4rtweets

Some residents in Brighton are still without water after a water main burst on Monday (14) morning.

Southern Water have this morning (Tuesday) apologised to people in the Ovingdean area who are affected by yesterday's burst.

Teams have reportedly worked through the night and into today, but the repair is a tricky one because the chamber is shared with other utilities, including electricity.

The company said they are working with UK Power Networks to fix the problem.

Meanwhile, they are delivering water to their vulnerable customers who are registered on their Priority Service Register.

A bottled water point is also located in Asda car park in Brighton Marina.

1 /2 We’re sorry that repairs to the burst in #Ovingdean in #Brighton is taking longer than hoped due to its complex nature. The pipe chamber is shared by a number of other utilities including electricity – we are working with @UKPowerNetworks to ensure the safety of all workers
