South East Water@sewateruk20 Jun 2025
Remember to stay hydrated this weekend & keep a bottle of tap water in the fridge! ☀️ Pop a cover over your paddling pool when not in use to save the water for another day! A simple change like this, means we can all enjoy more this summer. #SouthEastWater 💦#SimpleChanges

I’ll reuse the water in my garden when done.' on a dark blue box covering half of the image. The words ‘My simple change to make more of summer’ are on an orange box in the bottom right hand corner.

An ancient abbey that survived a deadly Viking raid and the destruction of monasteries by King Henry VIII has been given a new lease on life thanks to our churchyard repairs. Minster Abbey sits on the highest point on the island, overlooking the entirety of Minster on Sea.

📷 We have installed three new CCTV cameras in fly-tipping hotspots, in Sheerness and Sittingbourne, to catch illegal waste carriers in the act. The cameras are monitored 24/7 by our CCTV control room, who will help document the evidence the cameras gather.

This forms part of our campaign to tackle waste related crimes, which is being funded by a grant from the governments’ Rural Payments Agency. The funding will also be used to buy additional CCTV cameras, which act as a deterrent to fly-tippers.
