Some people lost their water supply for several hours or had low water pressure following a water main burst in Devon.

South West Water (SWW) said the burst main near Laywell Road in Brixham on Sunday left some homes without water.

It said it had been delivering bottled water to vulnerable customers and had been preparing to set up a bottled water station.

But at 21:35 GMT SWW said it believed all properties had been reconnected. A spokesperson said: "We believe all customers are now back in supply as our network continues to recharge back to normal. We thank customers for their patience."
