Last updated 28th Feb 2024
South East Water have apologised to customers in Alfriston, Berwick, Wilmington, Laughton, and surrounding areas who are experiencing no water or low pressure.
The water company says heavy rainfall and flooding have resulted in technical problems at one of their water treatment works, which supplies the area.
Approximately 700 properties remain affected.
A spokesperson from South East Water said:
"Our teams have been working around the clock to restore supplies to as many people as possible and continue working today (28 February).
"Due to the flooding and rainfall's impact on our water treatment works, we don't anticipate normal supplies to be restored until tomorrow (Thursday 29 February).
"All customers in the area listed on our Priority Services Register who cannot collect water from a bottled water station have had water delivered directly to their door or are being contacted to arrange delivery.2
A bottled water station at The Singing Kettle in Alfriston opened at 11:00am.
