Supplies were disrupted after the pipe burst on Mill Lane

Water supplies have been restored to homes and businesses in Oxford following a burst pipe that caused widespread disruption.

The incident happened on Tuesday night on Mill Lane, affecting properties in the OX2, OX3, and OX33 postcodes.

Thames Water confirmed that while repairs were now largely complete, traffic restrictions would remain in place on the A40. Motorists are being advised to allow extra time for their journeys, with the measures expected to be lifted later.

Apologising for the inconvenience, Thames Water said those affected by low pressure or no water could see cloudy water as the supply gets back to normal.
