Several schools have been forced to close and thousands of residents are without water due to a fault at a Southern Water supply works. Southern Water said a "technical issue" is to blame for the issues today. It announced the problem had occurred at the Testwood Water Supply Works, and is impacting people across Southampton, Romsey, Eastleigh and the New Forest.
A spokesperson said some households were dealing with low water pressure, whereas some were left without water entirely. They added that resolving the issue was "going to take time". Southern Water also said water is being delivered to vulnerable customers, and bottled water stations are being set up for others impacted by the problems. It published a list of the 10 postcodes affected:.
Speaking to the Daily Echo, Tangmere Drive resident Sandra Hall said: "It’s very strange because my brother lives in Pegasus close in Southampton and he has no cold water. Others I know have no water at all. "My brother had some contact from Southern Water but we have heard nothing at all. Thankfully, we had a hot shower last night otherwise it could’ve been a real nightmare. All this right before Christmas we’ve got our fingers and everything else crossed that Southern Water can get it fixed before next week.".
