Birmingham residents are facing disruption to water supplies due to essential repair works.

Severn Trent Water have said that some residents in the B23 area, which covers areas such as Perry Barr and Erdington, are “experiencing no supply, poor pressure or discoloured water.”

The supplier said this is due to essential repair work, which they “didn’t anticipate this affecting our customers”.
