Surrey: Thousands still without water as major incident declared

Feb 16,2020 10:03 am

Thousands of people are still without water in Surrey after a major incident was declared following a technical issue at a water treatment works.

Thames Water has apologised and said Shalford treatment works in Guildford had issues " caused by Storm Ciarán".

But Waverley Council leader Paul Follows told Bbc Breakfast that trying to get " basic information" from the water company had been a " challenge".

On Monday, He Said the issue was affecting " about 10 to 12,000 people".

Thames Water said it hoped that within 24 hours the " majority" of customers would have their supplies restored.

Mr Follows said: " I have certainly got questions for The County for not declaring a major incident much earlier, and I will certainly have questions for our MP about The State of water infrastructure in The Local area because it is clearly failing. "

On Sunday, Tim Oliver, leader of Surrey County Council, said The County 's Local Resilience Forum.

Bottled Water stations

He Said all agencies would continue to work closely with Thames Water and support residents in affected areas, " particularly those most vulnerable".

On Monday, Godalming College announced its closure for The Day and Godalming Junior School has also closed but said some pupils would be invited in at specific times.

Bottled Water stations at Crown Court Car Park and Artinton Car Park in Guildford will reopen from 09:00 GMT.

Thames Water said supplies would " only gradually return" on Monday and apologised to those affected in postcode areas GU1, GU2, GU3, GU5, GU6, GU7 and GU8.

On its website, it said: " Although The Situation is improving, we need to refill underground reservoirs which have run very low.

" We also have a fleet of tankers pumping water into The Local pipe system.

" Thank You for bearing With Us - we know how worrying and inconvenient it is to be without water and are continuing to work to get things back to normal. "
