An update on the Water Leak in Ferry Road:

Following an independent water test the Parish Council asked Southern Water and Kent County Council to carry out, Southern Water have provided this response:

"Further investigations are ongoing, but our process scientist has reviewed two sets of results and (one from a tap and one from the puddle of water) and it is possibly the same source of water. This could indicate a leak on our smaller 3-inch main, instead of the 18-inch main.

Leakage detection develops all the time and we now have access to new detection kit, which we are vey keen to try in Iwade in the coming weeks.

Residents may notice an increased presence in the area over the next few weeks. As part of our checks, we will be shutting off the water for approximately 30 properties for three hours. A date for this hasn’t been confirmed yet, but once it has, we will make those properties aware with advance notification."
