    People in Ripon have woken up to no water in their homes this morning due to a burst main.

    People took to social media to report the outage across the city.

    The problem has also affected residents in nearby Sharow village and Littlethorpe.

    Others said water pressure was low in their homes.

    On its website, Yorkshire Water said it was working to restore its service to the HG4 area.

    It said:

    “We're really sorry but customers may have low pressure or no water in the area. We're working hard to get your water back to normal as soon as possible.
    “Once it's fixed, your water may be cloudy or discoloured - you can clear this by running your tap for a few minutes.”


    James Thornborough. a Sharow resident, told the Stray Ferret the water company had been slow to notify customers of the problem and vague in providing details.

    He also said the problem had led to a big demand on bottled water at Morrisons this morning.

    We will update this story as we get more details.
