On Monday evening, SEW said that 5,000 customers had seen water restored and work was ongoing to make sure that 18,000 remaining properties with no supplies were back by Tuesday morning.
Households lost supply on Saturday night after Pembury Water Treatment Works had stopped working “due to a bad chemical batch”, South East Water (SEW) said.
Tunbridge Wells MP, Mike Martin, called for the resignation of the SEW boss David Hinton, labelling the situation “a total failure of leadership”.
He told BBC Radio Kent: “It has been challenging. Every time they seem to get it wrong.”
