Homes and businesses in parts of Oxford are facing disruption to their water supplies after a pipe burst.
The burst, found on Monday evening, means those in the OX3 postcode area – which includes Headington and Marston – have low pressure or no water.
Thames Water said isolating the burst overnight had been challenging as the valves were hard to locate due to flooding and overgrown grass in the area. It said teams had now started digging down to the broken pipe.
The water firm said it was a “complex repair” and it would take “some time before everything goes back to normal”, with tankers being used in the area to pump in water while the pipe was being fixed.
