Thousands of homes across east London has been left with no water today.
The areas affected are in the E1, E2, and E3 postcodes, which include Whitechapel, Spitalfields, Shadwell, Stepney, Portsoken, Bethnal Green, Haggerston, Shoreditch, Cambridge Heath, Bow, Bromley-by-Bow, Old Ford, and Mile End.
Thames Water has apologised and said they are investigating the issue on site.
The issue was first reported at 8.47am today (June 10) and is expected to be resolved by around midday.
A spokesperson said: “Sorry that your tap water isn’t flowing properly at the moment.
“We’re aware of an issue in your area and we’re on site looking into what’s gone wrong.
“We’ll let you know once we’ve found the problem and assessed what’s needed to get things back to normal.
“We know how disruptive it is if you lose your water supply, so we’ll work hard to get things back to normal as soon as we can.
“When something like this happens, 97 per cent of the time water is back in supply within 12 hours.
“As soon as we know more, we’ll be back with an update.”
“Thank you for being so patient while we get water flowing again.”
