Severn Trent Water are continuing to supply residents in Tenbury Wells with bottled water after the company told people not to drink their water supply.

A water pipe has burst in the area and the company says a very small amount of floodwater may have gone back into the pipe.

The repair to that pipe has now been completed.

It is likely to be Monday morning before all is back to normal.

Severn Trent has apologised for the inconvenience.
