Fire Service Activity Affecting Water Supply in Leicester

Fire Service Activity in Leicester

Severn Trent Water has issued a notice regarding fire service activity in Leicester. The notice indicates that this activity may have an impact on the local water supply in the area.

What We Know

At this time, the information provided by Severn Trent is limited. The notice confirms that fire service activity is taking place in Leicester, but no further details have been released about the nature of the incident, which specific streets or postcodes are affected, or how long any disruption may last.

No specific action has been stated as required for residents at this stage.

Why Fire Service Activity Affects Water

When fire services respond to an incident, they may draw large volumes of water from the local mains supply to tackle a fire. This can sometimes cause a temporary drop in water pressure for nearby properties, or in some cases a brief interruption to supply.

What You Should Do

If you are in the Leicester area and notice any of the following, it may be related to this incident:

• Low or no water pressure
• Discoloured water from your taps
• No water at all

If your water appears discoloured, run your cold kitchen tap gently for a few minutes. In most cases, this will clear. Avoid using hot water or running washing machines or dishwashers until the water runs clear, as discolouration can stain laundry.

If you have no water or pressure remains very low for an extended period, contact Severn Trent directly.
