Warning thousands of Brits may have no water on Christmas Day after burst pipe chaos – check if you could get refund
The other two water firms affected so far are Southern Water and United Utilities.
Many residents in south Hampshire are also without water because of burst pipes and have been told they can get bottles at three sites between Southampton and Eastleigh - South Winchester Park and Ride, East Winchester Park and Ride, and Places Leisure, Eastleigh. "This combined with the increased number of leaks we've experienced since the recent freeze/thaw event has meant demand for water is outstripping the ability to keep taps running."
The 35-year-old freelance writer said: "I've had children with sickness bugs over the last few days and haven't been able to properly clean the house or flush the toilets. She added: "My message to South East Water would be: I appreciate that this is a much bigger issue than you had perhaps anticipated but stop making excuses and just be honest."
"The knock-on domino effect of this, hitting other services on a day when you've got ambulances on strike, nurses on strike, it was just adding to the pot of stupidity and unwanted action and it was making life very difficult for everybody.
