A customer service contact told one customer in Cookridge: "There is an issue we're investigating with water supply in your area.

​"We have had quite a few people calling in your area​, that hasn't yet gone on the website.

"There may be a leak somewhere in your area that we aren't aware of.

"We hope to return supply within 6 hours

"​It may be cloudy or discoloured when supply does come back, this is due to silt being disturbed at the bottom of the pipes.
