Ninfield taps back on after supply cut
These happened following power cuts in the Bexhill area during March 15/16.
Although the company’s generators began working as expected, further complications resulted in pumps being unable to move water around the pipeline network both to the reservoir and out to customer taps. Simon Robertson, of South East Water, said: “Our technicians worked extremely hard to restart the pumps and restore supplies to customers as quickly as possible, unfortunately, due to the type of fault the repair took longer than initially anticipated.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank The Blacksmith’s Inn for allowing us to place the temporary supply of water bottles in their car park.” Problems with the water pumps began at approximately 1.30am on Sunday.
