More than 12 schools have been forced to close as a burst water main continues to cause supply issues in part of Oxfordshire.
The schools, along with thousands of homes, in the OX7, OX18, OX28, OX29 and GL7 postcodes have had no water or low pressure after a broken pipe that feeds the reservoirs in the area was found next to Oxford Road at Eynsham.
Thames Water said it was fixed on Thursday evening and refilling of the network was under way. Water is expected to gradually return to most properties throughout Friday.
Schools affected include those in Burford, Carterton and Witney. Bottled water stations remain in operation at Witney at Sainsbury’s and at Morrisons, Carterton.
