Extreme heat warning and water shortage

The Met Office has extended an extreme heat warning for Sunday through to Tuesday, with temperatures forecast to reach into the mid-thirties in the borough. Please check up on family and neighbours who may be vulnerable, including the elderly and those with heart and breathing problems.

The current water supply situation across the South East Water network is good, but due to the recent combination of hot weather and exceptionally high demand, they may be unable to replenish supplies in your local area quickly enough to keep up with localised demand.

Find out more about how to save water.
