Burst pipe repaired after thousands lose water in Oxfordshire

A burst pipe, which has affected the supply to thousands of homes since Tuesday night, has been “successfully repaired”, a water company has said.

The leak, in a field next to Oxford Road at Eynsham, Oxfordshire, affected those in the OX7, OX18, OX28, OX29, GL7 postcodes.

Thames Water said its teams were “currently pressure testing the repair and carefully putting water back into the network”.

In a Facebook post, the Liberal Democrat MP for Witney, Charlie Maynard, said an emergency bottled water station had been shut for an hour because of a missing forklift truck operator.
