Some nearby residents may see lower water pressure or minor discolouration, the company said.

On South Staffs Water's website it says: "Work is planned at this location. Our aim is to complete it between June 16 and June 22, although sometimes repairs can take longer than we'd like as checks and tests may need to be performed.

"You may experience some minor water discolouration or lower than normal pressure during some scheduled works, should you be affected by any of these issues please see the advice below."
