Water firm apologises for no supply and discoloured water in Staffordshire village after pipe bursts

A water firm has apologised to residents within an area of Staffordshire due to water disruptions after a pipe has burst.

Residents are experiencing no supply, poor pressure or discoloured water in the Cauldon area of Staffordshire this morning (Friday July 17).

Severn Trent said its teams are on site working to repair this as soon as possible, and warned residents may experience lower water pressure and/or discoloured water as the supply returns.

The water firm said in a statement at 10:30am this morning: “We’d like to apologise to those experiencing no supply, poor pressure or discoloured water in the ST8 area of Stafforshire this morning due to the burst water pipe. Our teams are on site working to repair this as soon as possible.

“Whilst the repair continues, we also have teams in the area working to restore the water supply by moving water around our network. As a result, you may experience lower water pressure and/or discoloured water as the supply returns. This is nothing to worry about and as our works progress your water supply will return to normal.

“We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may be causing and thank you for your patience during this time. We’ll make sure this page is updated as we receive more information.”
