The area is served by Southern Water which is providing bottled water to some of those affected.
Some schools and businesses, including the White Rock Theatre and Summerfields leisure centre, had to close on Friday due to the lack of water

The UK has fallen. No work gets done, nothing gets built, nothing gets maintained.
Take carefully..
Don't trust islam
Were building stuff for immigrants.
Only an idiot would worry about Islam in the face of wealth inequality and corporate greed. Wake up. @@rscrizz4496
@@gavloftit's the rich people, stupid.
Lol at the drones immediately blaming immigrants like they've been told to, and not the ultra-wealthy in power who have caused all this mess.
The bills keep going up and the service gets worse while they pocket your money 💰
I agree. My water bill is the largest utility bill I have to pay to a company that takes weeks to fix a leaking water pipe in the road, and of course also dump raw sewage into the rivers and sea for which I also get charged for. On the envelope, my bill comes in, is the slogan "please use water wisely". 🌧
Bring it back to public ownership....
Which is what the gov really wants and the reason they stopped the water
worst idea look at the NHS money pit and if it is brought back to public ownership who will be paying more tax for it
@@FattyOn2Wheelsthey don't need tax anymore their going to digital money
Never!
@@FattyOn2Wheelsdoes seem to the big issue with things allotted funding by the state. It encourages waste and incompetence to prevent budget cuts.
“A broken pipe in difficult to reach woodland” how stupid do they think people are
Difficult to reach woodland in Sussex! Vast wilderness that it is 😆

They need to get the exploration team together first, god knows what dangers faces them in that jungle.
Record profits for the owners. Zero service for the paying customers.👍
The banking firm that owns Southern Water has recorded a £4bn profit. The Guardian reports that Australia-based Macquarie Bank posted an annual net profit of A$5.18bn (£4bn), up 10 per cent from last year. Analysts were expecting profits of A$4.96bn for the year to 31 March 2023, the newspaper reported.7 May 2023😅😅😅
Funny, it's also just been announced that Goldman Sachs are now uncapping banker bonuses. I'm sure Macquarie will soon be following suit.
The same Macquarie who stripped Thames Water of its assets and borrowed billions to pay themselves huge dividends.
Sunak probably turned it off just after he signed a deal with the bottled water company
🇮🇳🍛👨🏿👉🚰
Spot on and well said
Go look who owns the water company it explains everything. 🇬🇧
Look who sold off the Water companies, it explains everything.
go look how pathetic and state reliant British people are it will explain everything
Theyll nationalise it, public fund the infrastructure, and sell it off again. (the prices will go up to fund it and that will make privatised water an option again.)
It needs ro be guaranteed public owned for a thousand years.
Top tip I always keep 20 litres of water water just for drinking as an emergency it paid of for me doing this when a pipe near me broke this was about six years ago. 🇬🇧
bottled water, right?
S Africa everyday since the ANC regime. Prayers.
Totally embarassed representatives with no public answers. Even more shocking than no water !!!
Service company's should be non profit
Charity bosses pay themselves substantial salaries.
Just stop oil No mate, Just stop paying these rouge water company's.
I suggest we stop paying for everything these corperations own take back our country from corporate crap .....no compliance
Rogue.
Just a thought. The gas suppliers sort their leaks quickly and efficiently. The water supplies DON'T. both are utilities, there should be no bonuses paid to water company people until they match the gas suppliers track records.
And yet we send money to help other countries
Mostly the Cayman Islands.
@@drunkenhobo8020👏🏼🤌🏼👏🏼
the state of the uk is horrendous
Stealing bottles of water from a poor old lady, what sort of person does that.
So much for privatisation
End privatisation give the people back the power to hold the government accountable the lazy good for nothings stop this looking after the shareholders the bunch of free loaders
Went up Saturday afternoon run out am going try Sunday at water station in town lets hope i have go buy some .
Preppers lolling at woman at 0:58 for relying on "the authorities".
Would the *migrants* be allowed to be without water?🤔
👍🙏💕🏴 xx
Absolutely not the army would be brought in to save the day. 🇬🇧
YES.
Could contravene eau man rights
Migrants have nothing to do with the Tories ripping off their own people
No💧water from the tap ?
My kitchen's full of mineral💧water bottles
None of it's much use though & ' tap water's been dreadful recently
I guess they don't call it ol' Blighty for nothing
Hallelujah !! Praise The Lord !!
Isn't it marvellous ?
In other news shareholders received record dividends.
Wondering what record profits the water company have made this year so far...
Well well well...this is how we can fight back against our replacements !...maybe
Surely neglecting maintenance on a utility should have consequences for the company? Esp since everyone is taxed for just that!
NO ACCOUNTABILITY
Always have bottles in bedroom spare and fridge always.
Thr cemetery normally has a tap to fill up cans for flowers
Don't know what pressure it comes out good shout.
En they out here saying Africa gats no water shame😂😂😂
Ironic that on the hv vest it says water for life😊😊
The government should need concentrate more on things insight the UK, NOT UKRAIN!
Been to get water Friday road to Asda shilverhill at standstill hour and half till get in .
No worries, £3bn is going to Ukraine. Every year.
That's not the issue. The government can technically keep issuing money so long as it goes to the right places. It's not an case of "it's one or the other."
Unfortunately, privatised water companies are not the right place because the money ends up in bonus packets of "businessmen" in other countries who are simply out to make a quick buck, so all that money is effectively lost forever.
Ukraine is money laundering war criminals HQ since 2014
There's talk of a 70% rise in bills next time around.
Small shop owners going getting "their" quote and selling it in their shops. Its Sunday and still NO Water..
I gaurantee that Morris dancer voted Tory
I’m homeless and I’ve lived three years without water. I have to buy it in small quantities and make it work for everything. I live in the UK. I’m ignored by social services because they are toxically corrupt and riddled, with misandrists in my city, my homelessness was caused by the police..
Whilst it is unfortunate having to deal with bottled water, it’s not impossible to live that way permanently.
wheres the money going?
But don't worry Shareholders will still get their £Millions dirty money divideds so nothing to worry about 😢
Renationalise the water companies immediately.
Britain's infrastructure is crumbling and it's just the beginning. From a foreign water company's point of view: why work hard over a long period while yiu can extract huge profits over a short period. Privatisation always had this end game in sight. It was never meant to work. Except for the 1%
Our water, utilities, transport, NHS, media, parliament and prime minister. All in the hands of foreign private interests. What could possibly go wrong?
Too many people squabbling over resources-who could have seen that coming with an overpopulated island.
This is why the water bill up .
We use it the same way as always, 30 years ago. No more, no less.
Is British water company sold the business to French someone ?
1:00 What are lovely East Sussex accent. With all these Migrants to the region from the rest of the uk, no wonder there's a housing crisis with local youngsters struggling to afford homes. And no wonder vital infrastructure like roads and utilities struggles and can't cope.
Yep . I couldn't get a flat for 20 years, still private. And she's moaning!!!😮
Finally mentioned where the outage was - right at the end 🙄. Worst reporting ever
Nationalise, Now!
Totally agree 💯
How much longer will we keep putting up with these excuses?
another privatisation success i see
I guess at least they may have a better chance of not bathing in sewerage.
Get used to queuing up for bottled water. Incompetent companies and clueless consumers: gotta have that hottub filled, paddling pool brim full, washed white aldi one a week and weekly lawn drenching....
All signs suggest the UK is no longer the country it once was. Everything is obsolete, deteriorating and unforgiving 😢. I hope UK law makers can effectively budget for infrastructure upgrade and create a sinking fund for future infrastructure improvement like how Singapore does. Singapore actually charges water more for future projects to ensure sustainable and quality service. The UK government now is a big bonkers. Bongo-bongo just waiting for paycheck and probably side income.
Hope all that bottle water is not exposed to light or else !
Better than nothing in emergency
This is a bad sign for UK citizens future.bless ❤️💙💛💚
Happened near Camber recently, good luck with the £300+ BILL they send for it after...
They will probably become healthier now as we know how bad tap water is
Back in 'their' own countries we are constantly told the natives have to travel miles with a bucket to fetch water from a dirty ditch, they then have the gall to come over to Britain and when there is an event like a burst water main these newcomers start their griping, the most irritating thing is the water rates and all other bills that these 'newcomers' receive will be paid for by the British taxpayers. not to mention they will get water delivered to their doors until the water mains is repared..
This is absolutely disgusting.
yeh people being this reliant on the state truly is disgusting
Withhold 6 months of water payments!
Clean the pipes up.... They're full of poisons...

British waters being owned by foreign Australian company! What has this country become?
I live in a 3rd world country and we have best tasting spring water, far better than Scotland and abundant water source. Britain has become worse than 3rd world, it has now Tier 2 army, can't even feed its people with affordable gas and fuel prices, rising inflation and now the basic needs....a water. So sad!
These are all tests people...be prepared.
They asked for it, it's still not enough for them to say enough is enough
