The water company has confirmed that customers in Boston, including those in Donington, Brothertoft and the Fosdyke area, may be experiencing extremely low water pressure or have no running water at all.
The disruption has been caused by a problem with one of the pumps responsible for pushing water around the local supply network.
Anglian Water has apologised to affected customers and confirmed that engineers are working to restore supplies.
In a statement, the company said: “We’re really sorry but some customers in Boston, including outlying villages including Donington, Brothertoft and Fosdyke area may have either very low water pressure or no water at all.
“This is being caused by a problem with one of our pumps that push water around the network.”
Water supplies expected to return by 8pm
According to the latest information provided by Anglian Water, the company is aiming to have water supplies restored to normal by 8pm this evening (Saturday, 24 October).
However, this remains an estimated restoration time and could change depending on progress in resolving the fault.
