LONDON, July 26 (Reuters) - Water supplies to London's Gatwick Airport were disrupted ‌on Sunday after a power outage ‌at a local treatment works, authorities at the airport ​said in a statement on X.

The issue had resulted in flushing toilets not working and the closure of restaurants and ‌bars, passengers said ⁠on social media.

The airport, Britain's busiest after Heathrow, said water supplies ⁠in both of its terminals had been affected. "Bottled water is being made available ​to passengers ​and staff across ​the airport and other ‌contingency measures are being put in place to ensure the welfare of our passengers," the statement said.

Water utility SES Water said complications caused by a power outage ‌at Bough Beech Water ​Treatment Works meant some ​customers were ​experiencing low water pressure or a ‌temporary loss of supply.

"Gatwick ​Airport is ​being affected but we are working with them while our teams work ​to restore ‌normal service as quickly as possible," the ​company said.
