Water outage Mountfield
I don’t live in Mountfield and have just heard today that many properties have no water. I’ve contacted South East Water and the outage is due to burst water pipes.
Bottled water is available at the station at Corner Farm Close, Flimwell, Ticehurst TN5 7FE and it is open until 9pm.
South East Water will deliver bottled water to the elderly and vulnerable if water has not been available for two mealtimes. Their number is 0333 0000001.
