Severn Trent has also warned residents that they may be left with no water until the burst pipe is repaired.
Third time is as many weeks @stwater Not good enough. And how come some village residents have been compensated but others haven’t? #WorcestershireHour pic.twitter.com/U9JlqReDda

And they have been told that once the pipe is repaired, the water might appear slightly discoloured or bubbly.
Workers from Severn Trent are trying to fix the water burst and have said they are 'determined' to get everything back to normal.
Lyndsey Davies, owner of The Bell Inn said, "This is the third time in three months something like this has happened.
"It's just a pain, especially when there is a water shortage and with the cost of living going up, it is just a pain."
A spokesperson from Severn Trent said: "As promised, we’d like to provide you with an update on the situation and let you know our teams are now excavating the burst location on Bell Lane.
"We really do appreciate how much of an impact this has had, especially during the hottest time of the year.
"Our team are determined to continue working hard to return everything back to normal as soon as possible.
"We'll provide further updates on this repair here as soon as we know more.
"Thank you for your continued patience whilst we work to repair the burst."
