In pictures: Southern Water customers flock to Billingshurst bottled water station after Horsham District is left with 'no water'

Southern Water first reported the issue on the company’s website at 1.37am on Sunday [May 14] morning.

Southern Water said the issue was caused by a failure at Hardham Water Supply Works.

Southern Water opened a bottled water station at Billingshurst Football Club in Jubilee Fields for those affected by the loss of supply.

And Jubilee Fields was inundated with Southern Water customers as residents tried to replenish their water supply.
