Engineers have been carrying out tests to work out where the problem is in the local pipe network.

It comes after residents experienced a loss of pressure and water supply throughout the evening yesterday (26th December).

A South Staffs Water spokesperson said:

> “We’re working to resolve the issue in Lichfield.  
>  
> “We’re looking for a leak in the area and our engineers are on site carrying out tests to narrow down the location.”

> South Staffs Water spokesperson

*Update: South Staffs Water say the leak was eventually resolved in the early hours of today. Residents* *have been told water* *may be discoloured, so they should run the cold tap until it is clear again.*
