A faulty booster caused people in Watford to suffer problems with their water supply last night.

Affinity Water said on its website that it was "having problems" with one of its boosters - and told people across the borough that they may experience problems with their water supply as a result.

But the water company seems to have resolved the issue after re-starting the booster - and anticipates that people should see "full restoration" of their water supply.

It said on its website: "We have successfully re-started the booster and anticipate full restoration of your water supply within the next hour.

"Should you experience any discoloured or aerated water which is not uncommon following a mains interruption, we recommend that you leave a mains fed tap running for approximately 5-10 minutes. Discolouration of the water is caused by small particles of iron which are within the mains and disturbed during interruptions.

"We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by this incident and would like to thank you for your patience."
