Burst pipes near Cricklade left homes without water. Thames Water worked to restore supply and provided support.
One pipe broke by the A419 road. They needed special pumps for floodwater. Firefighters helped remove the water. GL7, GL8, SN6, and SN26 postcodes all saw issues.
Thames Water gave out bottled water. It was at GO Outdoors in Swindon. They also delivered water to those who needed it most.
They fixed the main pipe. It should take a bit for water pressure to return. Everyone should have their water back now, according to Thames Water. If you still lack water, contact them.
