A BURST water main is affected drinking water supplies today in the Monkswood and Llanbadoc area of Usk.
Welsh Water say they have a team en route to repair the damaged main and anticipate that water supplies should begin returning to normal by later this afternoon.
They say when the water supply is restored some customers may notice some discolouration of tap water, this is normal in this situation and the water should clear when run from a cold tap.
Monmouthshire council is to close their County Hall building, Rhadyr, due to disruption of facilities.
