An estimated 3,000 properties have been affected by water supply issues in Surrey.

Residents in parts of Chiddingfold and Dunsfold have reported no water or low pressure on Wednesday.

Thames Water has said its Ashlands Reservoir is out of service after a technical issue at Mousehill Water Treatment Works, late on Tuesday.

Deliveries of bottled water are being made, the supplier said.

A Thames Water spokeswoman said the water supply issues impacted properties in Chiddingfold and Dunsfold.

She said: "Our technicians have now resolved the issue at Mousehill and are currently working to refill the reservoir.

"We’re reducing impact to residents by pumping water from our tankers into the local supply network."

The company is making deliveries of bottled water to customers on the priority services register.

A bottled water station has opened at Cranleigh Leisure Centre, in Village Way, Cranleigh.
