A South West Water spokesperson said: “We are carefully recharging the network to be able to fully restore supply to our customers.
“This is a large and complex system, and it needs to refill properly and safely before we can bring it fully back into supply.
“That’s why it may take a bit more time for all customers to see their water return.
“Our absolute priority is getting supplies back to everyone as quickly as we can, and we want to thank customers for their continued patience and understanding.
“We’ve prioritised support for our most vulnerable customers throughout and will continue to provide bottled water where it’s needed.
“Several bottled water stations remain open in the area for anyone who needs them while the system refills.”
