Thousands of homes without water
Thousands of homes and businesses between Sleaford and Grantham have been without water supply or had low pressure since Sunday evening.
The issue has led to two primary schools to close, including Caythorpe Primary School and Anglian Water is as yet unable to say when the problem will be resolved.
An Anglian Water spokesperson said: “We are sorry around 3,000 customers in and around Grantham, Byard’s Leap, Allington and surrounding areas may have low water pressure or no water at all.
"This is due to a power related issue at our nearby water treatment works yesterday (Sunday).”
Other communities affected have included Frieston, Caythorpe and Carlton Scroop, as well as more residents nearer Grantham.
Staff are delivering bottled water to medically dependent customers on their priority services register in the area and teams are said to be working hard to get things back to normal as quickly as possible.
The company said it will be updating its website as the work progresses: www.anglianwater.co.uk/check
