Elvington residents are being told they no longer need to boil water, unless they live on Derwent Close.

Yorkshire Water had given the order yesterday after bacteria had been found.

In a statement Yorkshire Water says: "Following our thorough sampling regime over the past few days, we have withdrawn our precautionary advice to residents in Elvington - except for residents on Derwent Close who we're still advising to boil their water while our investigations continue. We’re working closely with those residents to get this resolved as soon as possible.

"We’re satisfied we no longer need this precautionary measure for the vast majority of properties in the village and would like to thank everyone in Elvington for their patience while we’ve been investigating this issue. We know this has been disruptive, but we needed to be extra cautious to keep everyone safe."
