Brentford's Premier League opener against Tottenham at the Gtech Community Stadium on Sunday was delayed to no running water inside the stadium.
The match was due to kick off at 14:00 local time, but had still not started minutes later due to the unusual issue.
"Please be aware that we are currently dealing with an issue in relation to the water supply into the stadium which is affecting all related facilities," Brentford said in a short statement.
There had been no problem prior to the match as sprinklers were used on the pitch. The matter was eventually resolved and the game kicked off around eight minutes late.
It is the second Premier League game in London this weekend to be affected after Arsenal's 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest on Saturday was delayed for half an hour due to problems with the Gunners' new e-ticketing system at the Emirates Stadium which left thousands of fans outside the ground when the match was due to start.
When the game did eventually get underway at Brentford, Cristian Romero headed Spurs into the lead after 11 minutes to net the first goal under Ange Postecoglou and the first since the departure of Harry Kane to Bayern Munich, but the home side scored twice after that to turn the match around later in the half.
