An Anglian Water spokesperson said: “We are aware that some customers in Norwich and the surrounding areas are experiencing issues with low pressure or no water at all. This is due to a burst water main on Marriott’s Way in Norwich.

"Our teams are working as hard as they can get things back to normal as quickly as possible. We’re also aware of some surface water flooding on Sweet Briar Road, which should subside once the repair has been carried out.

"We’re really sorry for the inconvenience this is causing."
