Our repair team have arrived on site and are currently working to isolate the damaged section of pipework. The burst water main has been identified as a 12" pipe that supplies the Harrow , Wembley and Kingsbury areas.
Due to the large volume of water on the road surface, the team will need to shut the pipework down completely and pump the water away before they can begin to safely excavate the pipework.
Any customers who are experiencing low water pressure are advised to store water for drinking as supplies will need to be interrupted to carry out this repair work.
We are sorry for the inconvenience this has caused customers, and will update this message further after 12:50
If you are in the above area and are experiencing problems with your water supply we have received a number of calls which suggests there may be an issue on our network. Our technician is on their way to investigate and a further update will be provided as soon as possible.
During this time we ask you not to use any electrical appliances that require a water supply, for example washing machines or dishwashers and to conserve water from storage tanks during the time your water supply is interrupted.
If you do still have a supply, we would advise you to store some water for drinking, in case your water has to be switched off for a repair to be completed.
We are sorry for the inconvenience caused and aim to restore your supply to normal as soon as possible.
