A burst water main has disrupted water supply for Wickford residents.
Engineers are on the scene in Beauchamps Drive today to fix the problem after residents reported outages.
An Essex and Suffolk Water spokesman said: "We had calls to report low pressure or no water in the area.
"There is a crew there now and all customers have had a card pushed through their door.
"We took 27 calls about a lack of pressure or no water at all."
It is anticipated the water supply will be restored by 2.15pm.
