No water in Dunmow

We’re really sorry you haven’t got any water. We’ve been made aware of a burst water main on Hill Farm which may be causing this.

Streets affected: Lindsell Lane and Pages Lane

What we’re doing

Our technician and dig team have arrived on site, they are now awaiting the arrival of traffic management so they can start digging to expose the burst mains and get your water flowing again soon.

What you can do

Until we’ve sorted this, please avoid using your:

• Washing machine
• Dishwasher
• Electrical appliances that use water

If you still have water, we recommend you put some in your kettle or fridge for drinking in case your water needs switching off for the repair.

We’re really sorry about this, we’re working to get your water back to normal as soon as possible.

We added this message at 10:55 and we'll update it again after 12:55
