Thousands of households and businesses in Kent are experiencing water supply issues for a second day.
South East Water (SEW) said on Sunday that up to 7,000 properties face low pressure, no water, or intermittent supply due to a temporary instrument failure at its Tunbridge Wells water treatment works.
The company, which has been heavily criticised for multiple supply failures in recent months, apologised to customers and said two bottled water stations were open in the town for a second day.
Lance Miles, who lives in Tunbridge Wells and is registered disabled, described SEW as “incompetently useless”.
“Yet again we are without water,” he told the BBC.
“We’re not customers, because customers have a choice. We don’t have a choice.
“If there was another company, at the drop of a hat I would go with that company.”
