Water supplies were cut to 2,500 North Yorkshire homes today after a faulty valve stopped pumping.
Yorkshire Water was told of the problem, in Northallerton, at 5.30am, and supplied tankers for those affected.
Bottled water was given to those unable to get to the tankers.
The problem was fixed by 10.30am, but it was expected to be early afternoon before all homes regained a normal supply.
