Those without water are encouraged to collect bottled water from Sainsbury’s in Southend Lane, Sydenham, from 8:30am, where Thames Water has set up a bottled water station.
Thames Water assured customers: “As your water returns, you may notice your water is cloudy or has bubbles in it, this is due to air trapped in the pipes and is still safe to drink.”.
Frustrated residents took to social media at the time, demanding Thames Water urgently take action to ensure running water was reinstated, as many couldn’t even flush the toilet.
Sharing her letter on social media, Ms Reeves criticised Thames Water for failing to provide a time frame, as well as inadequate bottled water support.
Thames Water is offering bottled water to thousands of south Londoners on Thursday as households wake up to a second day without supplies.
