WELSH WATER are currently working on repairing a burst water main near Trap which is affecting Cross Hands, Tumble and Gorslas.
There is also a pump failure in the Penygroes area of Llanelli.
A spokesperson for Welsh Water said: “We have been working overnight to repair a burst on our water main near Trap in West Wales.
“This water main runs from Trap and provides drinking water to communities in Carmarthenshire.
“We are managing to maintain water supplies through tankering but drinking water supply is currently being affected to some households in Trap, Llandybie, Cross Hands, Tumble, Gorslas, Pen-y-groes and Carmel.
“We hope water supplies will be restored later this evening.”
The spokesperson added: “A pump failure has affected drinking water supplies this morning to customers in the Penygroes area of Llanelli.
“When the water supply is restored some customers may notice some discolouration of their tap water, this is normal in this situation and the water should clear when run from a cold tap.
“We apologise for the inconvenience caused.”
