Witney – water supply issues for Oxfordshire households

Households in the OX29 area are running without water this morning (Tuesday, June 23).

Thames Water said it is working to help get water back running through taps.

A spokesman said: “We’re sorry if your tap water isn’t running at the moment. We’re aware of an issue affecting customers in Witney, OX29 area.

“Our specialist team is on site at Poffley End to restore the flow of your water supply. We’re currently working to isolate this burst pipe and will be able to begin repairs shortly after.

“We know how disruptive it is if you lose your water supply, so we’ll work hard to get things back to normal as soon as we can.

“If you or someone you know needs a little extra support, our free Priority Services Register can help us to understand your situation so we can take it into account as best we can.”

West Oxfordshire District Council said it is aware of the water supply issues and echoed what Thames Water said.

A spokesman added: “With hot weather continuing across the district, please check in on vulnerable neighbours, friends and relatives, particularly if they are without water.”
