Residents ‘left without water’ after burst main in Manby

Some residents in the Manby, Grimoldby and Legbourne areas were left without water over the weekend, following a burst water main which also resulted in a road closure.

Mr Butcher said the problem was still affecting some properties on Monday lunchtime, with several homes having either low water pressure or no water at all.

On Tuesday morning, an Anglian Water spokesman said: “I can confirm that we had a burst water main in Manby at the weekend. This has since been repaired and water fully restored for all customers.

“Some customers were without water for a short amount of time, however the majority of customers were back on water early on Sunday morning.”
