A burst water pipe has left homes in Worcester without water.

Severn Trent said customers living in the WR5 postcode, which includes the Battenhall, Red Hill and St Peters areas of the city, “may be experiencing some supply interruptions at the moment”.

In an update at 8.28am today (Friday, December 16), the water company said: “We’re really sorry if you’re experiencing these issues and want to reassure you, we’re working hard on getting this fixed as soon as possible.

“We’ve got a team currently investigating the cause and specific location of the burst water pipe and we’ll update this page as soon as we have some more information to share.

“To ensure as many customers as possible remain on supply and we are currently moving water around our network. This may cause lower pressure than normal. However, this is nothing to worry about.

“We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.”

Severn Trent also warned that when the issue is fixed, water may appear slightly discoloured or bubbly but said this is nothing to worry about.
