Homes in Upper Ventnor are currently experiencing a loss of water tonight (Wednesday) after a water main burst.
Southern Water engineers are currently at the source of the leak at Rew Close off of Downlands Crescent.
Residents described how water pressure dropped in the area – before loosing water altogether.
Contractors are due to carry out the repair overnight – in the meantime, residents are expected be be without water until at least the earlier hours – depending on how the repair goes.
A spokesperson for Southern Water has said:
“We have a team on site repairing the burst.
“Your water supply should return to normal within three hours.
“You may notice some discolouration or low pressure at first; this is completely normal when there’s been a disruption to the supply and is only temporary.
