Water to return to taps as burst pipe fixed

Water supplies are expected to return to homes and businesses in Oxford after a burst pipe was fixed overnight.

The burst on Mill Lane left those in the OX3, OX2 and OX33 postcodes with no water or low pressure.

Thames Water said most customers should now have water but while further "essential work around the repair" continued, some customers could see low water pressures.

The water firm said two bottled water stations for those affected were open in Headington at Oxford Thornhill Park & Ride on London Road and for those on foot only at Waitrose on Old High Street.

Temporary traffic lights are in place on the A40 while the repairs continue, with drivers warned to add additional time to their journeys.

Apologising for the inconvenience, Thames Water said: "We understand how disruptive this can be, and we're doing everything we can to resolve the issue and get water flowing again as quickly as possible."
