Multiple problems have struck Thames Water’s infrastructure throughout London and the Home Counties as Britain experiences its third heatwave of the summer.
The water supplier has acknowledged that residents in east London and north west London are encountering separate supply difficulties, resulting in reports of ‘no water’ in certain areas.
Thames Water has also confirmed that disruptions are impacting a substantial stretch of the Home Counties surrounding London, including postcodes across Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and Bedfordshire.
The difficulties emerge on the opening day of the nation’s third heatwave of the summer. Overnight temperatures are hovering around 24C in London, with forecasts predicting 33C on Thursday (July 8), according to the Met Office.
