Water tankers line up as Severn Trent issue warning

A line of water tankers snake along Haygate Road in Wellington as Severn Trent issue an update on supply issues.

Boosters that help to shift water around the network have been failing and this is causing a problem in the TF6 area.

The water company have said “We’d like to apologise to those experiencing no supply, poor pressure or discoloured water in the TF6 area of Telford this afternoon.

“We have found that the pumps that help us move water around your area have stopped working.

“As we know what the problem is, we’ve already got engineers on the way to reset these pumps which will return the water supply to normal. We are confident this will be resolved by 8pm.”
