Hundreds of people have their water restored after traumatic two days

Running water has finally been restored to two buildings housing over 600 people after more than 48 hours without consistent supply.

Residents of Box Makers Yard, near Temple Meads Station, lost their water supply on Wednesday morning forcing many to shower and use facilities at hotels, offices and friends houses. It was restored this afternoon after work from Bristol Water and the team at Box Makers Yard.

Bristol Water said in a statement that an internal filter in the building was blocked which resulted in the issue, but that has now been resolved after a team dug up the pavement near the buildings to ensure that there were no issues with the pipes.
