Loss of supply in Horsham
Our teams worked hard overnight to fix a burst main in the Horsham area.
Update Sunday 28th May 10:00
Our teams worked hard overnight to fix the burst main in the Horsham area. Unfortunately, we encountered a few issues which meant we couldn’t complete the repair as we had hoped, so work needs to continue to fix the main over the coming days.
We have rezoned the network, so customers are in supply. If we need to shut the network down again to work on the repair, we will endeavour to do this overnight to keep impact to a minimum.
Update Saturday 27th May 20:00
We’re sorry to our customers in Horsham for the disruption to your water today. This was caused by a burst water main in the area.
We temporarily rezoned the network to get your water back on while we repair the burst. However, the fix is very complex, and we now need to shut off the rezoned water supply to complete the works.
That means customers in RH12 4 postcodes will lose water from 11pm tonight for a few hours. Please make provisions for drinking water overnight before 11pm. We expect your water will be back on in the morning.
Update Sunday 27th May 15:30

If you don’t have water or have any concerns, please call us on 0330 303 0368.
