Frequently asked questions

Who supplies the water in Bexhill-on-Sea?

South East Water supplies Bexhill-on-Sea. You can reach them on 0333 000 0365.

I can see water leaking in the road — who do I tell?

Report it to South East Water on 0333 000 0365. Leaks in the road or pavement are on the public network, which is theirs to fix — anyone can report one, and it costs nothing.

I have no water — what should I do?

Check with a neighbour first. If they have no water either, the problem is likely on the mains — call South East Water on 0333 000 0365. If it is only your property, check your internal stop tap is fully open; if it is, the fault may be on your own supply pipe — the part we repair and replace.

Who handles sewerage and drains in Bexhill-on-Sea?

Your water comes from South East Water, but wastewater and sewerage in Bexhill-on-Sea is handled by Southern Water — a separate company. The drains inside your property boundary are the owner's responsibility — that is the work we do.
