SEW is also advising anyone whose water might “look brown in colour” following the resumption of service to “simply run the cold kitchen tap until it is clear”.
And any water appearing “cloudy or white”, but which clears from the bottom upwards when placed in a glass, can be explained as being “just a little more aerated than usual”.
Customers in the Kent village of Bidborough continued to experience intermittent supplies for much of Thursday, with tankers being used to inject water into the local pipeline network, SEW said.
Incident manager Mike Court said: “While the picture is improving as leaks get repaired, there is a risk customers could see intermittent supplies… if demand for water outstrips the amount we can pump into the network.”
He apologised to customers and businesses affected by the supply issues, saying he understood how disruptive interruptions to supply could be.
SEW said bottled water was being delivered to priority customers.
