Tunbridge Wells Water Crisis: 24,000 Residents Face Fourth Day of Dry Taps as MP Demands South East Water Boss Resign
A faulty batch of coagulant chemicals forced the shutdown of Pembury Water Treatment Works on Saturday, cutting water to up to 24,000 homes and businesses in Tunbridge Wells and nearby villages. South East Water says supplies are gradually returning, but thousands remain without water or face low pressure. Local MP Mike Martin has called for the company’s chief executive to resign. Frustration among residents continues to mount.
