Kent Declares Major Incident After Widespread Water Outage
Tens of thousands in Kent left without water after major outage declared by council.
On 12 January 2026 South East Water announced a major incident after a supply outage left roughly 40,000 residents without water. The emergency affected five towns – Canterbury, Harbledown, Maidstone, Hollingbourne, and Tunbridge Wells – across Kent. Reform UK council leader Linden Kemkaren confirmed the scale of the impact in a statement to the press. Local authorities have appealed for patience as engineers work to restore the metering system and bring the supply back online. The incident has raised concerns about the resilience of regional water infrastructure amid rising demand during the winter season.
