He said: "Repairs to the burst pipe are underway, and all customer supplies are back to normal.
"We know how upsetting flooding can be, and we’d like to apologise to those customers who have been affected. Rest assured we will pick up the tab to get things back to normal as quickly as possible."
Due to the change in water pressure in the network caused by the burst, a secondary burst occurred on Sandy Lane, near Duston.
