A burst pipe that has left 7,000 Kent residents without water since Saturday [22 March] is 'disgrace', says GMB Union.
South East Water said it was "sorry" for the inconvenience after the incident caused significant flooding and damaged critical equipment at one of its water treatment stations.
Gary Carter, GMB National officer, said:
"Our water infrastructure is falling apart.
"Customers are paying the price for a private water sector that has failed them.
"Residents should have be having to rely on bottled water for days on end, it’s a disgrace."
