Around 35 properties in Chesterfield had their water supply turned off completely by Severn Trent this morning (Monday, June 14) as they began work to fix the issue.

The water company said they can now see ‘improvements’ as they continue to pump water into the network and repair and monitor the water pressure and supply issues that arose this morning.

In a statement, the company said: “We are monitoring the water pressure in the area and can see improvements.

“We will provide an update of the situation by 1pm.
