Gatwick Airport is currently facing a water supply disruption affecting both terminals, leading to reported issues such as non-functional toilets and limited availability of hot beverages at the airport’s dining establishments. As a response, Gatwick has started distributing bottled water to passengers and staff.
The problem is linked to an incident at SES Water’s Bough Beech Water Treatment Works, impacting not only the airport but also some customers in the Horley area. Gatwick Airport has confirmed that measures are being taken to address the situation and ensure the well-being of passengers, including the provision of alternative solutions.
SES Water, responsible for serving regions like Surrey, West Sussex, Kent, and south London, has been addressing water pressure concerns in specific areas by supplying bottled water to vulnerable customers while working towards restoring the regular water supply.
The exact timeline for resolving the water shortage remains uncertain as investigations and efforts to rectify the issue continue.
