A spokesperson said: “We’d like to apologise to our customers in the Derby area who have no water or low water pressure at the moment, this is because one of our larger pipes has burst on King Street.

“Our teams are heading towards the area now and will work hard to get things back to normal as quickly as they can.

“We know how difficult it is to have no water, especially at this time of the day and we’re really sorry for any inconvenience this might be causing and would like to thank you for your patience.”
