Southern Water Repairs Burst Sewer in Shoreham's Victoria Road

Southern Water is conducting emergency repairs to a burst sewer pipe on Victoria Road in Shoreham, with tankers and pumping equipment in place to manage the situation. The disruption is expected to continue until the weekend.

The burst sewer pipe was first reported on Wednesday morning, prompting Southern Water to deploy tankers, storage tanks, and pumping equipment to divert sewage flows safely. The repair efforts have caused significant traffic disruptions, with road closures in the area. Southern Water has assured residents that teams are working as quickly as possible to restore normal operations.

In a statement, Southern Water explained that excavation and repair work would continue over the coming days, with traffic management measures remaining in place until the road and paths are fully reinstated.
