Southern Water

Southern Water says the leak is not related to its infrastructure, but to nearby private land.

Julie Wassman, from Whitstable, has not paid her Southern Water bill over its sewage record.

A burst main is disrupting supplies in Ryde, St Helens, Seaview, Shanklin, Bembridge and Sandown.

Residents have criticised Southern Water after a sewage spill in Crawley Down.

The claims come as water bills are set to rise by an average increase of £2.70 a month from April.

Southern Water says misconnections can have a "very significant impact" on the quality of sea water.

Southern Water says that it is duty bound to pursue non-payers as a regulated company.
