A repair team are working to solve water supply problems after a burst water main in a Letchworth street.

People living in Baldock Road have been asked not to use electrical appliances which require water supply – such as a dishwashers or washing machines – while Affinity Water work to repair the main.

An Affinity Water spokesman said: “Our repair team are on site, however due to complications with the repair and the need for traffic management this is taking longer than anticipated.

“We aim to restore the supply to normal as soon as possible and apologise for the inconvenience caused.”
