The Isle of Sheppey in Kent has been left without water for a day because of a burst pipe. Six schools shut on Tuesday because of extreme heat and the lack of water. 

Kent County Council have warned four more schools could close their doors on Wednesday if the water supply is not reconnected.

Southern Water said at 8am on Wednesday: “We’re really sorry again to everyone without water on the Isle of Sheppey. 

“It’s taking longer than expected to bring supplies back, due to a second burst we’ve been dealing with overnight.”

They previously said at midnight: “The network is slowly refilling, but this will take some time.”
