Eastbourne properties without water after mains pipe bursts

East Sussex Fire were called to Larkspur Drive, Langney, at about 12am on Sunday morning (May 17) after the burst caused flooding.

A number of properties lost water supplies and South East Water engineers were sent to the scene on Sunday morning.

South East Water said it was made aware of the leak at 11pm on Saturday (May 16).

A spokesman said repairs were completed at 10am on Sunday.

South East Water said: "Our team on site has now completed the repairs to the burst water main and you should now see your taps flowing as normal.

"If your water looks brown in colour, please don't worry as it's not harmful. This happens when small particles of iron within the mains are disturbed.

"Once again, we're really sorry about the disruption."
