Water interruption – Notice of planned works in NE37 postcode

Updated – Friday 24th July 2026

We will be completing planned works in the Norfolk Drive area from 09:00am on Tuesday 11th August 2026. We expect works to be completed by midday on on the same day. During this time, you will experience an interruption to your water supply. To prepare for this temporary interruption, we recommend filling any kettles, jugs or containers you may need in advance.

As the supply will be interrupted, when your water returns it may be discoloured or you may experience air in the pipes – this is normal. If you do experience this, please run the cold water tap nearest to your stopcock (usually in the kitchen) for a few minutes until the water runs clear.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, and we will endeavour to minimise disruption as far as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding whilst this maintenance work is completed.
