Hastings Water Crisis Averted Just in Time for Christmas

Homes in Hastings have water back after a burst mains pipe threatened to leave them dry over Christmas.

Emergency Repairs Get Water Flowing Again

Southern Water confirmed that the Beauport Water Supply Works was successfully restarted on Monday evening, restoring clean, safe drinking water to the area.

The burst pipe in Hastings town had sparked fears that households north of the town could face water cuts as repairs dragged on during the busy festive period.

Brief Interruptions Possible But Full Blackout Avoided

While Southern Water warned brief interruptions remain possible, a full outage is now unlikely. Engineers are monitoring the system overnight to keep water running smoothly.

Christmas Cheers for Hastings Families

The quick fix brings massive relief for families worried about spending Christmas without running water.
