People took to social media to announce that very little water was coming out of their taps on Tuesday morning (May 17), one posted a photo of their water coming out with a light yellow colouring to it.

Southern Water said the reason for the low water pressure was a faulty pressure valve within the area on Monday night (May 16).

The water supplier said its team was able to put on a temporary fix overnight, and a separate team completed the task on Tuesday morning, which has brought the customers back to full supply.

Southern Water also said a slight discolouration to the water will clear within the next 48 hours, but this is expected and water can be used as normal.
