“Two fire engines are on the scene. The road is also flooded, so please avoid the area while crews deal with the water and make the area safe. There are no reported injuries. “
A statement from Southern Water says: “We’re dealing with a major burst on our water main in the Broadstairs, CT10 area. We’re doing all we can to re-zone supplies while we work as quickly as possible on repairs but customers may experience low pressure or no water. Vulnerable customers on our priority service list will be supplied with bottled water. We would like to apologise to anyone affected by this.”
Fire crews stop time was 10.05am.
