Water has been restored after hundreds of homes and the hospital in Poole were left without a supply when a main pipe was damaged on Friday 8th November.

Wessex Water says the issue was caused by a third-party to one of their water mains.

It was restored just after 8pm on Friday but not before the hospital had to bring in tankers so they could continue to support patients.

Wessex Water has warned the supply may be cloudy for a day or two due to air bubbles in the system.

If your water is discoloured there's more information on their website about what to do.
