A double booster failure has caused hundreds of households to be without water for a second time this summer, with Ashfield District Council leader Jason Zadrozny calling for a thorough investigation into the issue.

Water supply was affected in NG17 9 areas from around 11am this morning, but the water company say the issue should now be resolved.

Jason Zadrozny said: “We have all been on the phone this morning to Severn Trent Water and have been informed that the problem was caused by a double booster failure on higher land which cut the water in NG17 9 areas - Annesley and Kirkby.

"It is absolutely unacceptable and we will be asking for a further investigation on top of the one we have ordered following water failures earlier last month.

“This issue, according to Severn Trent, has now been resolved but please let us know any subsequent issues and, as ever, we will stand up for you."
