Burst main repaired after water disruption

Water has been restored to homes and businesses after a burst water main was fixed.

People in the OX3 postcode area, which includes Headington and Marston, suffered low pressure or no water after the main on the cycle path near Foxwell Drive burst on Monday.

Thames Water said work on a permanent repair has been completed and checked overnight after a temporary mend on the pipe did not hold and caused flooding in the area on Tuesday.

The company said workers would return over the weekend to carry out planned work to replace a section of pipe and supplies would not be affected.
