Hospitals in Southampton are affected by a huge water outage today.
Sites run by University Hospitals Southampton, including Southampton General Hospital, are among those left without water after a "technical fault" this morning at the Testwood Water Supply Works.
Water is being delivered to hospitals.
But hospital bosses say it is business as usual and are urging patients to attend their appointments as planned, but to leave extra time.

A spokesperson for University Hospitals Southampton NHS Foundation Trust (UHS), said: “We are working with Southern Water on contingency arrangements to ensure our hospitals continue to maintain water supplies.
“The Trust has stood up its business continuity incident plans as we manage our response.
“We ask patients to continue to attend appointments as planned but to allow extra time for their journey and in accessing parking facilities, due to the access requirements being put in place to enable delivery of those supplies.”
