An emergency road closure has been put in place near Bury St Edmunds while engineers fix a burst water main.
Engineers from Anglian Water have since isolated the issue and water supplies have been restored.
However, an emergency road closure will be put in place so that the pipe can be fully repaired.
Thurston Road, near the A143, is expected to be closed until the beginning of next week while the works are carried out.
A spokeswoman for Anglian Water said: “Our teams have isolated a burst water main which has affected customers in Thurston and Pakenham this morning and we can confirm that all supplies have now been restored.
"We will now be looking to repair the pipe, and in order to keep our people and other road users safe, we will need to close a section of Thurston Road while we carry out this emergency work, with a full diversion in place.
"We hope to have the road fully reopened by the beginning of next week, and we would like to apologise to customers who have been affected.”
