- Thames Water initially reported up to 15,000 affected properties; that number later fell to 6,000.
- A specialist team was repairing the burst in West Molesey, Surrey, on Monday; its location means completion will take some time.
- Thames Water said Surbiton supplies should return, potentially at lower pressure, while water was rerouted.
- Water deliveries were being made to priority-services-register customers; bottled-water stations were due to open Monday afternoon.
We need an urgent response from Thames Water to get water supplies back on as soon as possible and to protect vulnerable communities. Once the water is flowing again, we need to establish exactly what happened and why. My worry is that decades of underinvestment in our infrastructure and poor regulation may be causing incidences like this. Right now, however, the priority must be getting water back in our taps.— Monica Harding, MP for Esher and Walton, Surrey — urging Thames Water to respond urgently, investigate the cause, and highlight underinvestment and regulatory concerns.
