A burst water pipe that left an "enormous" area of Kidderminster underwater has been fixed by engineers.
People living in the DY10 and DY11 postcodes began to experience problems with supply, poor pressure and discoloured water on Friday morning.
On Sunday, Severn Trent said it was still carrying out checks and extra repair work in the area despite the pipe fix.
The water company added roads around Green Street, including Castle Road, Dickson Street and New Road, would remain closed until further notice.
The firm previously said the area had been hit by an "extremely large amount of flooding".
Drone shots taken at the scene showed a district council office among the buildings underwater.
"We're sorry to any of our customers who experienced issues with their water supply as a result of the burst," a spokesperson added on Sunday.
"Thank you for your patience and understanding while we complete this work."
