A major incident has been declared in Surrey after thousands of people were left without water because of Storm Ciarán.
More than 13,000 people were left without water as of 3pm on Sunday due to the impact of the storm, Thames Water told Chancellor Jeremy Hunt. He also said a further 6,500 were expected to lose supply later on Sunday afternoon. It comes after Storm Ciarán tore through parts of the UK on Thursday, battering regions in the south coast and the Channel Islands with gusts of up to 100mph.
Mr Hunt, who is MP for South West Surrey which includes Godalming and the surrounding villages among the affected areas, said the firm was “resetting and reprogramming” the control system. After speaking to Thames Water's interim co-chief executive, Alastair Cochran, Mr Hunt wrote: "If successful they will be able to restore supply to affected customers. Artington now open for water supply so that should relieve congestion."Good that SCC have now declared this a major incident.
