SOUTH West Water issued an apology to customers in Tavistock and the surrounding area after problems yesterday.

On Monday (March 27), the company apologised to customers across the PL19 postcode area who experienced low water pressure or no water in the area.

That afternoon, South West Water had a team working on repairs and the water in the area was restored during the afternoon.

Customers were warned to run the cold kitchen tap to clear any discoloured water in their pipes.
