Thames Water is starting work this month on a major upgrade to its London water network with a mains replacement scheme costing over £10 million in Crouch End, Haringey.

John Halsall, Chief Operating Officer at South West Water has apologised to customers in Exmouth affected by operational issues the company has experienced in the area over the last few months.

An innovative new product is helping to keep taps flowing across Essex and Suffolk, even during leaks and bursts.

Southern Water finally completed a major repair to a broken sewer on Friday last week after the burst was first detected in a rural area near Bognor on 16^th May 2023.

A large pipe burst at Thames Water’s Hampton Water Treatment Works at 8.30am yesterday morning left thousands of customers in parts of London.

The water industry regulator Ofwat has strongly criticised some of the water companies for leaving some customers “high and dry” in the face of ongoing water supply issues resulting from this week’s extreme weather.

Thames Water is using a 280-strong team to identify invisible underground water leaks this winter before they escalate into big bursts above ground.

Scottish Water has been dealing with up to triple levels of customer calls as a result of the current extreme winter weather conditions Scotland has been facing in recent days.

Northern Ireland Water has experienced major problems this week with water supply as a result of the freezing temperatures.

The freezing weather conditions have sparked a 50 per cent increase in bursts and leaks on Thames Water’s pipes across London and the Thames Valley.
