Hampshire water outage: Supplies returning to thousands of homes

The latest update from the firm at 21:45 GMT on Thursday said 67% of impacted households had water back.

It said that number was “increasing steadily” and expected it to continue throughout the night.

Managing director Tim McMahon said the Testwood site was “very old” and £250m was being invested into “bringing it up to standard” over the course of seven years.

Explaining what had happened to supplies, he said: “Through some of those planned works on Tuesday, when we were starting up the site, we were having problems getting it going and we had some dirty water in that part of the site.

“We couldn’t let that go forward, we can’t put it into supply, it’s illegal, we wouldn’t do it and the site shut down, and then we had to get rid of that water and that took about 24 hours.

“Also, because it’s an old site it takes time to get it working and that’s what we’ve been working very hard on.”
