The following message has been put up on South East Water’s website:

Most of you should now see your see your taps flowing, however you may have slightly lower pressure than normal. A burst main has been located and we are preparing to carry out repairs. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

If your water looks brown in colour, please don’t worry as it is not harmful. This happens when small particles of iron within the mains are disturbed.

Your water may also appear cloudy, or white. If you fill a glass of water and it clears from the bottom upwards, then this means your water is just a little more aerated than usual. Simply run the water from your cold kitchen tap until the water is clear.
