A temporary hosepipe restriction is in place
We really need your help. Please only use water for essential purposes at this time.
We’re aware of a burst main in the CB23 area, which is causing low pressure and no water.
The following streets have been confirmed affected due to this: Boxworth Road Elsworth and Cotterells lane Elsworth
We are working hard to resolve this and aim to restore normal supplies as quickly as possible.
We’re sorry for any inconvenience caused. Thank you for your patience.
Our next update will be once the repair is completed.

The current hot weather has led to exceptionally high demand for water across our region.
Some customers may experience lower water pressure or a temporary loss of supply.
We are aware of these issues and are working to maintain supplies. Please help by using water wisely and avoiding non-essential water use.
Thank you for your patience and support.

A campaign encouraging people across Cambridgeshire to check their toilets for hidden leaks is already making a difference, with a recent survey showing that just under one in five people who found a leak were prompted to check by Cambridge Water's Yes We Cam: Check Our Loos campaign.
Cambridge Water is reminding customers that its Temporary Use Ban, also known as a hosepipe ban, became legally enforceable from 1am today, Friday 17 July.
Cambridge Water has thanked customers and local businesses for responding positively to the temporary hosepipe ban announced, following one of the driest springs in recent years and exceptionally warm weather throughout June.
