Burst main disrupts water supplies and shuts school

Water supplies are being disrupted and a school has been forced to close after a water main burst in Oxfordshire.

Homes and businesses in the OX14 postcode area have no water or low pressure after a pipe broke near Sutton Courtenay. St Blaise CofE Primary School in Milton is closed.

Thames Water said the work has "taken longer than expected" after newts were found at the repair site. That issue has been resolved, work is progressing and will continue into Tuesday.

The water firm has thanked customers for their patience and apologised for the inconvenience.

Thames Water said bottled water was being delivered to residents registered on its Priority Services Register.

The water firm said: "If you or someone you know needs a little extra support, our free Priority Services Register can help us to understand your situation so we can take it into account as best we can."
