People in parts of Kingston say Thames Water’s advice to control their water usage is “laughable.”
It’s after water mains burst in Kingston Hill and outside Chessington World of Adventures last month. In Kingston, it took engineers an hour to get on site meaning nearby roads flooded with over 70 firefighters pumping water away. When the watermain burst outside Chessington World of Adventures, water was propelled 50 feet in the air. Residents in The Groves in New Malden also claim water was allowed to run for two days after a burst pipe there despite them reporting it. Thames Water is the UK's largest water and wastewater services company serving 15 million customers. We’ve contacted Thames Water for comment.
