People across north west London and Edgware have been left without water due to an issue under investigation.

Affinity Water has issued an alert warning that many postcodes across NW7, NW9, HA8 and HA9 may not be able to access water today (November 9).

This includes areas such as Mill Hill, Edgware, Colindale, Kingsbury, Queensbury, Burnt Oak, Canons Park and Wembley.

The reason behind the fault is unknown at this time, but technicians are on their way to assess it.

It has advised people to avoid using their washing machine, dishwasher and other electrical appliances that use water.

Affinity Water said: “If you still have water, we recommend you put some in your kettle or fridge for drinking in case your water needs switching off for the repair.

“We’re really sorry about this, we’re working to get your water back to normal as soon as possible.”
