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 an issue in CB3 which is causing low pressure and no water for customers in these areas.
We're currently working on this and aim to restore normal pressure as quickly as possible.
We're sorry for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience.
