Water main burst causes pressure issues

Parts of Oxford are facing disruption to water supplies after a main pipe burst.

Thames Water said its engineers were working to isolate a 600m pipe on Mill Lane that burst earlier, and consumers may experience low water pressure as a result.

Supplies in the OX3, OX4 and OX33 post code areas have been affected with tankers used to replenish water in pipes.

The utility company said traffic management also had to be put in place on the A40 due to the repair work, which may cause disruption.

A bottled water station at Oxford Thornhill Park and Ride is due to reopen on Wednesday.

In a statement, Thames Water apologised for the inconvenience and said it recognised how "frustrating" changes in tap flows were.

It said: "Currently demand in the area is outstripping supply and many people may experience pressure issues, particularly if your homes are in an elevated area.

"We aim to return your supply back to normal as soon as possible but this may be intermittent while we continue to fix the problem."
