Residents in some areas of West Oxfordshire have been left without water due to a burst water main.
The incident occurred in the OX18 area and is causing disruption in a number of postcodes around Carterton, Minster Lovell and Burford.
A spokesperson for Thames Water said: “We’re really sorry if you have low pressure or no water.

"It’s due to a large burst pipe in the Burford Road area to the north of Carterton.
“Our engineers have shut off the flow of water from the damaged section and managed to restore part of the affected area.
“This means some customers should see supplies returning, although pressure is likely to take some time to build.
“We’re working to get things back to normal as soon as possible for all customers.
“We’ll provide updates here as soon as we have more information.”
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service has advised residents to monitor the Thames Water website for information on repair times https://www.thameswater.co.uk/network-latest
