A spokesman for Severn Trent water has revealed they will pay out £50 in compensation to each home affected.

Almost 3,700 homes in Derbyshire and Leicestershire were affected from Friday by contaminated tap water.

Residents were told not to use the tap water due to dangerous levels of chlorine and instead used bottled water.

Severn Trent have said they can use their water supply again.
