The YO8 area, which covers Selby, was not the only area affected by the fault - with a reader from Church Fenton reporting similar difficulties.
Yorkshire Water has since confirmed the cause of the fault.
A spokesperson said: "We experienced an issue during routine maintenance at Brayton reservoir, which has since been resolved by our team."
The outages - which have since been fixed - were confirmed by Yorkshire Water to have affected 16,000 homes in the area.
