In a statement, the water company said: “We’re working to stop the flow of water from the burst pipe. We’ll then focus on locating the damaged section of pipe and how best to fix it.
“While we complete the repair, we’re adding water back into our pipes using tankers, so as many customers as possible can turn on their taps again.
“After starting our repairs, we aim to have fixed the burst pipe within 3 hours.”
