Bottled water stations have been opened in Surrey as residents were left without water due to a technical issue on one of the hottest days of the year.
Many residents woke up to a diminished water supply or low pressure in their taps due to complications at Netley Mill water treatment works, which serves 8,500 properties in Cranleigh and surrounding villages.
Thames Water said it was doing everything it could to resume supplies, but in the meantime had set up three hubs at which local people could pick up bottled water, and would open more if there was demand for it.
It advised that the supplies were for “essential use, like drinking, cooking, and hand washing” and urged people to be considerate, taking only what they needed.
