Water returns to Gatwick after outage left passengers with no working toilets
Staff handed out bottled water as toilets and hand-washing facilities stopped working while the airport worked with SES Water to restore supply.
A water outage in the Horley area disrupted the water supply at London Gatwick Airport, affecting both terminals and causing non-working toilets for passengers and staff this morning,.
Bottled water and other contingency measures were provided to ensure passenger welfare during the outage.
The water outage occurred during the airport's busiest travel period, causing many travelers to have a disrupted start to their holidays.
The water supply has largely returned, most toilets are open, and all toilets and food outlets are expected to be operational for tomorrow's flights,.
In the middle of the heat wave in the UK, London Gatwick Airport (LGW) was virtually without water for travellers last Sunday. The service was interrupted due to a breakdown at the Bough Beech water treatment plant.
