Yesterday, many homes in the TN34 and TN35 post code areas of Hastings lost water pressure or their entire water supply due to a reservoir pipe which burst in Layton Road. Many customers complained, saying they were unable to use their toilet or their central heating due to the issue.

This morning, Southern Water announced it had fixed the issue – but in an embarrassing turn of events for the provider, the problem has returned and customers are yet again without water.
