Gatwick Airport is currently facing a water supply issue affecting both terminals, leading to reported problems with toilet flushing and limited availability of beverages at the airport’s facilities. In response, Gatwick Airport has started distributing bottled water to passengers and staff as a temporary measure.
The water shortage is attributed to a problem at SES Water’s Bough Beech Water Treatment Works, impacting not only the airport but also causing water supply disruptions for some customers in the area. Gatwick Airport has acknowledged the situation, stating that investigations are ongoing to address the issue and ensure passenger welfare through alternative provisions.
While the exact timeline for resolving the water shortage remains uncertain, SES Water, serving regions in Surrey, West Sussex, Kent, and south London, is actively managing the situation. Customers in specific areas are experiencing low water pressure or complete water loss, prompting the company to provide bottled water to those most in need while working to restore normal supply levels.
As efforts continue to rectify the water supply problem, Gatwick Airport and SES Water are committed to keeping passengers informed and minimizing inconveniences caused by the ongoing issue.
