In Muswell Hill, north London, approximately 2,000 homes are still without gas after a burst water main flooded the gas pipes. Residents like Tina Korhonen are coping with challenges like lack of hot water and heating. Cadent Gas is actively working to restore supply, having removed over 33,000 liters of water from the system, while an investigation into the water inflow by Affinity Water is underway. The situation has fostered local support and camaraderie, emphasizing community resilience despite ongoing struggles.
"You get your hopes up that the gas is coming back and then it doesn't," said Tina Korhonen, who has been without gas in her north London home since 12 January.
"A lot of people have been really panicky and worried. It's not a normal thing to happen and a lack of timeline is sometimes frustrating," Ms Elangasinghe added.
