Burst water main causes low water pressure for Burnham-On-Sea area residents

-

A burst water main has been affecting tap water supplies in parts of the Burnham-On-Sea area this weekend, leaving some households with noticeably reduced pressure.

Some residents in Brent Knoll, East Brent and Mark reported low water pressure or no tap water on Saturday, when the issue began.

Bristol Water’s teams have been working to restore supplies.

The company has also been delivering bottled water to affected customers on its priority assistance list to ensure vulnerable residents are supported.

A spokesperson says: “We’re working hard to locate a burst water main on the pipe that supplies Brent Knoll service reservoir, which is causing the reservoir to drain and may lead to some customers being without water.”

”As a precaution, we’re proactively delivering bottled water to our most vulnerable customers. We’re very sorry for the inconvenience and thank customers for their patience.”
