3,700 properties affected by chemical water

Severn Trent issued a warning in Derbyshire and Leicestershire on Friday after it found high levels of the chemical at a reservoir.
About 3,700 properties are affected in postcode areas DE11, DE15, DE65, DE73 and LE65.
Most houses will be able to use their water from 15:00 GMT, but 241 properties will still be affected.
Severn Trent said that, after flushing the network and testing the water, the supply will be safe to use later.
Customers should run their cold tap on full for five minutes before use.
Work is still ongoing to make the water safe for a further 241 properties in the DE73 and DE74 areas.
The firm has been handing out free bottles of water to affected customers at Sainsbury's in Swadlincote, Derbyshire, and Tesco in Ashby-DE-la-Zouch, Leicestershire.
Nigel Thornylowe, who lives in Woodville with his two children, said it was a "nightmare".
"We got caught up in the frenzy yesterday and unfortunately... we haven't got any bottled water," he said.
"We've tried in vain but all the supermarkets have run out."

At the scene

There's a steady flow of people collecting bottled water in trollies in one of the supermarket car parks in the center of Swadlincote - and another lorry-load has recently arrived.
People here say they've been kept well informed by Severn Trent Water about the problems with the supply to their homes since yesterday afternoon.
Most say they are coping well, using the free bottled water or visiting friends and relatives - who are not in one of the five affected areas - to take showers.
But many are concerned about the elderly or vulnerable people who don't have cars to go to the collection points.
Householders have been told they can now flush their toilets and they will be notified by social media and hand-delivered letters when the supply is fully back in use.

He said the situation had been poorly managed and bottles of water should be distributed at more locations than just the two supermarkets.
But other residents have been looking out for their neighbors, with one couple filling up the water carrier in their caravan and distributing it to elderly neighbors.
And another woman said she coped on Friday night by "drinking spritzers" instead of water.
In a statement, the firm tried to reassure customers who may have drunk the water that, if they did not notice a strong chlorine smell or taste, then it was "unlikely to have caused any harm".
But it added that anyone with concerns should speak to a doctor.
"We're very sorry for the inconvenience this has caused but we want to reassure customers that this is a precautionary measure due to the levels of chlorine in the water supply," it said.
