While Portsmouth Water’s website stated the issue was caused by ‘general maintenance’, customers phoning the company have been greeted with an automated message citing an ‘emergency situation’.

The firm said on Twitter: ‘Apologies to our customers in #Emsworth who have no water at the moment. We have inspectors on site and another on their way and we’re aiming to restore the supply as soon as possible.’

It later added: ‘Supplies are now being restored to #Emsworth. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.’

The News has contacted Portsmouth Water to find out how many homes have been affected.
