Homes across east London and Essex have been hit by water supply problem.
Over the weekend the combination of thawing weather and low pressure has led to pipes bursting across the country.
About 12,000 homes in London were left without water overnight as Thames Water fought to fix leaking pipes and burst mains.
A burst water main on Ollards Grove by the Natwest in Loughton provided the town with a spectacular new water feature, while leaving many without water for much of Saturday.

Mild flooding hit Avey Lane, Loughton over night with roads across the town without water for most of the weekend.
Some residents in Chigwell had been without tap water since Friday.
Bottled water stations were opened across the capital, and the Midlands, Wales and Scotland were also affected.
Increased demand on Monday morning has put pressure on many water networks, with suppliers warning of poor water pressure and intermittent supplies as they try to refill pipes.
Our repair teams are out across multiple sites working to get the network back to normal. We’ll continue to update our website with information. We’re very sorry for the inconvenience caused.

I can understand but we have had two days and no offer of water. I was told my two housebound neighbours should go and buy water
