The quaint village of Alfriston is grappling with a severe flooding crisis that has not only inundated homes but has also compromised the community’s access to fresh drinking water. The relentless rainfall and subsequent flooding have led to significant operational disruptions at a local water treatment facility, leaving residents in a dire situation.
South East Water, the utility company at the forefront of addressing this calamity, has issued an apology to the affected residents, acknowledging the distress caused by the lack of water or the presence of low water pressure. The areas most impacted include Alfriston and its surrounding locales, with Berwick, Ripe, and Wilmington experiencing similar challenges.
