Watford homes were left without water after a fault at a pumping station.
Affinity Water issued an alert for customers in the WD17 postcode, which covers parts of the town centre and residential areas near Hempstead Road, at 10.30am today (January 20).
People affected by low pressure in the area were asked to avoid using their washing machine, dishwasher, and any electrical appliances that use water until the issue was fixed.
In the alert, the company said: “We’re really sorry you haven’t got any water.
“We’ve been made aware of a fault at your local pumping station.”
It recommended that customers in the area who still have water should put some in their kettle or fridge for drinking in case their supply needs to be switched off for the repair work.
