Good morning and welcome to our live page.

We will be bringing you the latest developments on water issues still affecting parts of Kent and Sussex.

South East Water said a number of issues were to blame, including Storm Goretti and a power cut at its pumping plant.

Tunbridge Wells, East Grinstead, Maidstone, Whitstable, Canterbury, and surrounding towns have been among areas without water, faced low pressure or had intermittent supplies.

Stay with us throughout the day as we bring you updates.
