Some water supplies affected earlier by an unplanned interruption caused by a burst water main are coming back on.

Pressure is rebuilding in the some parts of the system as engineers redirect supplies to restore service to as many customers as possible while the problem is fixed.

It’s not clear how many homes have now had their water supply restored but water is back at a number of properties and pressure will build once the system fills up.
