"This essential work to improve the resilience of existing infrastructure and help reduce the chance of pipes bursting will help us achieve that.

“Some customers may experience a change in water pressure and/or discoloured water.

"If this happens, turn on the cold water tap in your kitchen and let the water flow slowly until it runs clear.”

She added: “We apologise for any inconvenience.”
