Water supply restored to Gatwick airport after hours without working toilets

Airport’s bars and restaurants were also unable to serve drinks to passengers because of lack of running water Water supply has been restored to most of Gatwick airport after passengers spent hours without access to working toilets, and bars and restaurants were closed. Most toilets had reopened across both terminals on Sunday evening, with the remaining facilities, including bars and restaurants, expected to return to normal for the first of Monday’s flights. Although flights were unaffected, toilets in both terminals were out of use, cafes, restaurants and bars were shut, and taps were either not running at all or running with low pressure since Sunday morning. Announcing that the water, supplied by SES Water, had been restored, Gatwick airport said: “Following an issue at the Bough Beech water treatment works which impacted the local area today, we are pleased to report that the water supply has now returned to the vast majority of the London Gatwick campus. “Most toilet facilities are now open and we expect all toilets – as well as food and beverage outlets – to be open for tomorrow’s first flights. Since becoming aware of the issue, we have been working closely with @SESWater
