Its a fifth day of not being able to use the tap water for people living in a new housing estate near Cambridge.

Households in Marleigh are being told to only use the water for flushing toilets with bottled water being offered at the Community Centre from 9am Monday morning.

The first "do not use" warning was issues on Thursday 18th at around 10pm.

An update from the Independent Water Networks at 21:48 Sunday says they "have had some initial sample results back" but are waiting for further detailed analysis before issuing details.

The UK Health Security Agency is also now involved to discuss sample results.
