"NI Water is currently carrying out repair work in the area. Customers may experience a loss of water supply or a drop in pressure when the work is being carried out. We are working to fix the problem as soon as possible.

"Discoloured water can occur when the mains are disturbed. This can happen when there has been an interruption to supply following a burst main and the operational activity associated with the repair. The discolouration will be short-lived, and running the tap for a while should help clear it from the system.

"All water is disinfected to ensure it is safe to drink," the company said.

Householders in Dungiven may also be affected as planned maintenance work is undertaken in the town. Disruption there could continue until 12 noon tomorrow.
