Why bottled water points?
When a water main bursts and supply is cut off, water companies like Thames Water set up bottled water distribution points, such as the one at Fairlop Ice Kingdom. This ensures affected residents have access to clean drinking water while repairs are underway, preventing health risks and providing essential relief during an emergency.
