Bottled water stations: Where to find them in Oxford

The burst water pipe, near Heyford Hill roundabout, caused severe flooding, road closures and affected families in the area by killing the water supply to their homes.

While Thames Water continue their repairs, it will be running two bottled water stations where customers can pick up the supplies they need.

A spokesperson for Thames Water said: “We’re working to boost local water supplies.

“We’re sorry to customers experiencing low pressure or no water this morning as a result of the problems the burst pipe has caused.

“Our engineers have been working through the night to repair the pipe, but yesterday’s burst is affecting the flow of water into the area.”
