Residents in Reading have been left low pressure or no water at all due to a possible leak in the area, according to Thames Water. 

The interruption to water supply is affecting customers in the RG4 and RG9 postcode areas this morning. 

In an announcement posted at 6.30am, the company said it was 'sorry' for the outage and that engineers had been onsite to locate the source of the issue. 

In a statement, a representative from Thames Water said: "We're sorry to customers who may have low pressure or no water now.

"We are currently finding that our reservoir is being affected by a possible leak in the area, if you spot a leak please let us know. 

"Our engineer is currently onsite investigating once we've located the problem and assessed what's needed, we'll update you on what we're doing to fix it. We'll also estimate how long it might be before your water is back on. 

"We know how inconvenient it is if you lose your water supply, so the technician will continue working throughout the night to get your water back to normal as soon they can.

"Our next update will be by 10:30am."
