At its peak, the outage hit 24,000 people. South East Water has restored supplies to 10,000 homes overnight, but many locals still face dry taps. Several schools, including Tunbridge Wells Girls’ Grammar, Tunbridge Wells Grammar for Boys, and Oakley School, remain closed due to the ongoing emergency.
With repairs continuing, locals face a long wait for normal water service to resume.
