Booster Station Failure Reported in Ashbourne

Booster Station Failure in Ashbourne

Severn Trent Water has reported a booster station failure in Ashbourne. A booster station is a pumping facility used to maintain adequate water pressure across the local supply network. When such equipment fails, it can result in reduced water pressure or, in some cases, a temporary loss of supply to nearby properties.

What We Know

According to information published by Severn Trent Water, a booster failure has occurred in the Ashbourne area. At this time, no specific postcodes or streets have been listed as affected, and the number of households impacted has not been confirmed.

What You Should Do

If you live in or around Ashbourne and are experiencing low water pressure or no water at all, this incident may be the cause. Severn Trent Water advises customers to:

• Check for updates directly with Severn Trent Water, as the situation may change.
