Large parts of Ryde were without water yesterday (Sunday) after Southern Water engineers spent most of the day tackling a burst water main.
Social media networks were awash with residents discussing the lack of water, expressing their anger at having to buy bottled water.
By 6pm on Sunday, Southern Water told On The Wight, “we expect to have water back on for all customers later this evening and we apologise for the disruption to their supplies.”
Residents reported the return of water at around 8pm, although many complained the water was a muddy-brown with very low pressure.
