A temporary hosepipe restriction is in place
We really need your help. Please only use water for essential purposes at this time.
We're continuing to repair a burst water main that may have affected your supply in the area of Fen Drayton, Fenstanton, Hilton, Over, Swavesey, Connington, and St Ives. We believe your water supply should now be returning to normal. As service is restored, you may temporarily notice lower water pressure or some discolouration. If your water appears discoloured or there are changes to its taste or smell, please run your cold kitchen tap for up to 20 minutes until it runs clear.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience.
