Leigh McAlpine, 44, who lives in the SE20 area of Crystal Palace in south London, one of the postcodes affected by the water outage, said she has not had water since about 5am on Tuesday after a water pipe burst.
A Thames Water spokesman said water returned for the majority of properties in the area on Thursday and those still without water should see their supplies return overnight and on Saturday.
“I think the problem for us is, we’re in a block of flats and we’re on the top floor, and some of the residents that have got the ground floor flats are saying some people have got water back, or some people had water and then it disappeared,” she said.
Properties in Crystal Palace have experienced low water pressure or no water this week after a water pipe burst, which the company has since fixed.
A London resident who has been without water for more than three days has said Thames Water’s plan to charge customer even more than previously agreed is “just greed”.
