Serious Water Leak

There is a serious water leak between Kingspring Lane.  Wessex Water have closed the road and are now working to repair the problem.

At the moment Wessex Water have advised me that they hope to have the supply back up and running by the end of the day, however the road will be closed for the next 5 days due to the re surfacing which needs to be undertaken.

All updates can be found on at.
