Nusrat Ghani, MP for Wealden, has welcomed the introduction of a temporary hosepipe ban to help rectify the water supply issues that have been plaguing Wealden since Sunday 11 June.
Residents of Crowborough, Rotherfield, Mayfield and Wadhurst have been left without water for nearly a week after a spell of hot weather caused higher demand in supply, which South East Water failed to meet.
Nusrat has been making repeated representations to the water company to fix the problem, provide stand up local bottling stations and urged its directors to introduce a temporary hosepipe ban to help improve the situation. Finally, on day six of the outage, this measure was introduced today (Friday 16 June 2023). For more information, please visit www.southeastwater.co.uk.
