Southern Water have just opened three bottled water stations for customers to collect supplies from today.
The water stations can be found at:
- Staplewood Football Development Centre, Marchwood, Southampton SO40 4WR
- Places Leisure Centre – Passfield Avenue, Eastleigh, SO50 9NL
- ASDA, Maynard Road, Totton, Southampton, SO40 3ZA
Affected customers can collect bottled water from all three locations this morning, while deliveries to vulnerable people continue.
Around 73,000 properties have been affected by a huge water outage across Southampton, Eastleigh, Romsey and the New Forest.
The huge supply outage was triggered by an automated shutdown at a reservoir at Testwood Water Treatment Works because of water quality concerns.
The reservoir has been refilled with drinking water and supplies should start to be restored later today (Thursday).
