flag Southern Water deploys 80 tankers across southern England to combat flooding and pollution from record rains overwhelming sewers and saturated aquifers.

flag Southern Water is deploying nearly 80 tankers to 26 locations in Hampshire, Sussex, and Kent to manage flood and pollution risks from record rainfall that has saturated chalk aquifers and overwhelmed sewer systems. flag Emergency crews are working around the clock amid disruptions, as saturated ground delays runoff and keeps pressure on infrastructure weeks after rain ends. flag Long-term sewer sealing projects, including £3.5 million in Penton Mewsey and Appleshaw to seal over 15.5 km of pipes, are underway to reduce groundwater infiltration and protect rivers and harbors, with work expected to finish by autumn 2026. flag Customers can track efforts via Southern Water’s Groundwater Issues page.
