Cllr Glenn Haffenden, leader of the council, said: “We have been kept updated by Southern Water on the progress of the repairs to the burst water main. We are pleased to hear that the pipe has been repaired and that work is now underway to recharge the pipe. 

“Deliveries to residents on the priority services register will continue throughout today, anyone who is in urgent need of water should contact them directly. 

“Please do not stockpile mains water or use more than is necessary – this will help maintain supply for as long as possible while the pipe is recharged.
