Around 18 streets in Rickmansworth have been left without water due to a pumping station fault.

Affinity Water says that a technician is on their way to get the water flowing again after an alert was issued shortly before 2pm today, August 24.

According to the water supplier, houses within these streets are likely to have low pressure or no water at all.

Roads such as Woodock Hill and Rickmansworth Road have been affected, and a full list has been published on Affinity Water’s website. It can be viewed here.

There is currently no estimation of when it will be fixed. Residents are asked to avoid using their washing machine, dishwasher and other electrical appliances that use water.

It comes as homes in Rickmansworth and areas nearby have also been struck with power cuts this afternoon.

The UK Power Network has said: “We're currently investigating a fault on the electricity network which has caused a power cut in the local area.

“We're sorry for any disruption this may be causing you.”
