Water supply to 1,200 properties affected by storm
The company said emergency repairs were needed at one of its treatment works, leaving people with low pressure or interrupted supplies.
Jim MacIntyre, incident manager for South East Water, apologised to customers in the Cuckfield area.
He said: "Storms affected one of our treatment works late [on Saturday] night, but I am pleased to say that our team of expert technicians has now completed the necessary repairs."
He said reservoir storage was recovering and, once levels were back up, water would be pumped into the network to fully restore supply overnight.
"We understand that supply interruptions are frustrating and we thank our customers for their patience and understanding," Mr MacIntyre added.
Customers were told not to worry if water looked brown in colour once the supply returned.
"This happens when small particles of iron within the mains are disturbed," South East Water said.
"Your water may also appear cloudy or white.
"If you fill a glass of water and it clears from the bottom upwards then this means your water is just a little more aerated than usual.
"Simply run the water from your cold kitchen tap until the water is clear."

Texas families plead for information on more than 20 girls missing from summer camp after floods
Texas parents frantically posted photos of their young daughters on social media with pleas for information as more than 20 campers from an all-girls summer camp were unaccounted for Friday after floods tore through the state's south-central region. At least 13 people were dead Friday and dozens missing after months worth of heavy rain fell in a matter of hours on Texas Hill Country, Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha said. The flood-prone region is dotted with century-old summer camps that draw thousands of kids annually from across the Lone Star State. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said about 23 girls attending Camp Mystic, a Christian camp along the Guadalupe River in Hunt, Texas, were unaccounted for Friday afternoon. Search teams were working to conduct helicopter and boat rescues in the fast-moving floodwaters. 'I'm asking the people of Texas, do some serious praying this afternoon — on-your-knees kind of praying — that we find these young girls,' Patrick said. Dozens of families shared in local Facebook groups that they received devastating phone calls from safety officials informing them that their daughters had not yet been located among the washed-away camp cabins and downed trees. Camp Mystic said in an email to parents that if they have not been contacted directly, their child is accounted for. The camp sits on strip known as 'flash flood alley,' said Austin Dickson, CEO of the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country, a charitable endowment that is collecting donations to help nonprofits responding to the disaster. 'When it rains, water doesn't soak into the soil,' Dickson said. 'It rushes down the hill.' Camp leaders said they are without power, Wi-Fi and running water, and the highway leading to the camp has washed away. Two other camps on the river, Camp Waldemar and Camp La Junta, said in Instagram posts that all campers and staff there were safe. Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request.
