South East Water supply problems do happen and here's what you need to know to get them sorted as quickly as possible.

  1. Check the "In Your Area" map for any relevant outage information by logging in to your South East Water account
  2. Run your cold water tap in the kitchen. If water comes out of the kitchen tap but not in other parts of the house, the problem is likely due to your home plumbing and not the responsibility of South East Water.
  3. However, if no water comes out of the kitchen tap, then you need to check that your stop valve is open.
  4. Ask your neighbours if they're also having issues with water. If they're not, the issue is likely coming from your own home plumbing.
