Essential Repairs to Water Supply in Leicester
Severn Trent Water has announced that essential repair works are taking place in Leicester. This notice has been issued as a general information update.
What We Know
At this stage, Severn Trent Water has confirmed that essential repairs are under way in the Leicester area. No further details about the specific streets or postcodes affected, the nature of the repairs, or the expected duration of the works have been provided at this time.
What This Means for Residents
If you live in Leicester and are experiencing any disruption to your water supply — such as low pressure, discoloured water, or a temporary loss of supply — this work may be the cause.
Discoloured water can sometimes occur when repair works disturb sediment in the pipes. If this happens:
- Run your cold kitchen tap for a few minutes to help clear the discolouration.
- Avoid using hot water or washing machines until the water runs clear, as discoloured water can stain laundry.
- The water is generally safe to drink once it runs clear, but if you have any concerns, contact Severn Trent Water directly.
What to Do
If you are affected by this work or have concerns about your water supply, you are advised to:
- Check the Severn Trent Water website for the latest updates on this incident.
- Contact Severn Trent Water on their customer helpline if your supply is disrupted or if you have a medical condition that means you need priority support.
