Summary
Kent’s water crisis drags into day two, with thousands facing no supply, low pressure, or intermittent service as South East Water races to restore full flow by Sunday evening.

Under financial strain after a costly winter and a £30.5 million penalty for past outages, SEW is negotiating new loans and has enough cash to run until July 2027. They’re holding off on reconnecting homes until reservoirs are fully replenished to ensure a stable, uninterrupted supply.
