A number of schools across Crawley reopened this morning (May 16) after water shortages forced them to shut.
Hundreds of customers across West Sussex were left with no water on Sunday (May 14) and Southern Water said the issue was “caused by a failure at Hardham Water Supply Works.”
The issue continued in Crawley yesterday (May 15) with schools and some households left without water. A water station was set up in K2 Leisure Centre for customers who were still affected.
