In a statement issued shortly after 6am United Utilities said: "Good news, we've now repaired the leak on Belvedere Road and your taps should be flowing again. 

"However, it may take up to two hours for your water pressure to return to normal. 

"You may also experience some discolourisation to your water, this is due to the repair work on the pipe and should clear after a short time.

"Sorry for the disruption, thanks again for your patience."
