Nine schools have also been forced to close as some areas have been without water for two days.

All day centres in the mid and south of the county are closed, as well as the County Hall in Aberaeron.The Albion Hotel in Cardigan has also been forced to shut.

"Fortunately, we are normally closed on Sundays but now we want to know what to do the rest of the week and cannot tell people for certain when we will reopen," said owner Steffan Walker. A spokeswoman for Welsh Water apologised to everyone who lost supply, adding: "Following last week's prolonged freezing temperatures, we put plans in place ahead of the rapid thaw over the weekend across our operating area.

"We have seen a threefold increase in burst mains compared to normal and have mobilised our full emergency response to deal with this." The spokeswoman said leak detection from the burst mains has been hampered by heavy rain on Sunday and it would do everything to "accelerate repairs" on Monday.Welsh Water is also dealing with two burst water mains in Carmarthenshire - one is affecting the Efailwen, Clynderwen and Whitland areas.
