WATER could be restored earlier than expected after a major water leak has left homes without a supply.

Residents living in WR5 and WR8 have been experiencing supply interruptions, according to Severn Trent.

Severn Trent has been working to resolve the issue and warned customers earlier today that they may have no water or have water running at a lower pressure.

A message sent to those affected by the water leak said that the supply could be restored earlier than expected, but the water may be discoloured. 

A spokesperson said: "Your supply could be back on earlier than we originally expected although it may be intermittent for a time, we are really sorry about this.

"You may find that your water is slightly discoloured at first, this is nothing to worry about.

"If you run your cold kitchen tap gently for about twenty minutes, it should clear. These issues should resolve within 24 hours. More updates can be found on www.stwater.co.uk."
