This page is dedicated to sharing updates on the water outage affecting areas in Mid Sussex.
South East Water have said that due to a power failure, residents in the Haywards Heath area may experience a loss of water supply, with reports of issues in Bolnore Village. I will be working with the team at South East Water to bring you the latest updates.
Please get in touch if your property has experienced a water outage.
***Bolnore Village, 12:00PM UPDATE (19/05/2023)***
South East Water have now resolved the issue at the site and you should now see your taps flowing as normal. If your water looks brown in colour, please don't worry as it is not harmful. This happens when small particles of iron within the mains are disturbed.
Your water may also appear cloudy, or white. If you fill a glass of water and it clears from the bottom upwards then this means our water is just a little more aerated than usual. Simply run the water from your cold kitchen tap until the water is clear
South East Water’s Head of Operations, Steve Andrews said:
We are very sorry to our customers in Bolnore Village who have had low water pressure or no water early this morning. This was caused by a power failure, which meant the pumps we need to get tap water to higher ground could not work. All our customers should have had their tap water supply returned to normal now.
