Engineers are working to repair a burst water main in Harrow.

Affinity Water has notified residents of HA2 there is a burst water main in Harrow View causing disruptions to the water supply.

A technician has assessed the burst and a repair team were called to carry out the necessary work in order to restore supplies to normal this afternoon.

The repair team remain on site. However, due to the need for additional support from Transport for London (TFL) to ensure the road is safe to work in the works are yet to start.

The company requested people in the area not to use any electrical appliances that require a water supply, for example washing machines or dishwashers and to conserve water from storage tanks during the time the water supply is interrupted.

In a message on their website, the company said: "If you do still have a supply, we would advise you to store some water for drinking, in case your water has to be switched off for a repair to be completed.

"We are sorry for the inconvenience caused."
