Burst water main affects drinking supplies
A SUSPECTED burst water main has affected drinking water supplies this morning to customers in the Chepstow area.
Dwr Cymru Welsh Water was alerted to the problem at 10.31am and anticipates that water supplies to those affected in the NP16 area should begin to return to normal later this morning.
We have a team on site repairing the damaged main and we anticipate that water supplies should begin returning to normal by later this morning.
The water company apologised for any inconvenience caused via its Twitter account and added that when the water supply is restored some customers may notice some discolouration of their tap water, this is normal in this situation and the water should clear when run from a cold tap.
