Water supplies restored to most homes

Almost all supplies affected by the burst have now been restored to normal although teams of engineers are still flushing out the network to remove any air in supply or discoloured water.

It may be that some customers whose supplies have been restored will experience poor water pressure for a while — it will also take some time for restored supplies to reach the upstairs of properties.

We also understand that there are some small pockets of Longwell Green and Oldland Common which are still experiencing supply difficulties, probably caused by our essential flushing work; this is being addressed as quickly as possible.

We thank all customers affected in any way for their patience.
