Anyone who still has no water is being urged to contact Anglian Water immediately on 0800 145 145.

Anglian Water have said, further lack of water, may be due to ‘an air lock in the pipework as a result of the outage.’

They have WaterSafe approved plumbers standing by locally and will send them to investigate, free of charge.

The spokesman added: “As a result of the air locks we have been removing from the system, it’s possible your water could appear cloudy or white at any time over the next few days.

“This is just millions of tiny air bubbles trapped in the water and if you leave it to stand in a glass or jug it should quickly clear.”

Anglian water tankers remain on standby both at Tetford School and near Flint Hill Water Tower, but are no longer being used to feed the system.

They will remain on standby until the permanent repair near Asterby is complete.

“Our employees will be hand delivering apology letters later today, detailing the compensation we’re offering and including instructions on how to submit a business claim.

“We would like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding over this prolonged period.”
