Thames Water confirmed at 10am on Saturday, August 1, that a burst pipe had impacted the outlet of a reservoir that serves the area, causing levels to fall rapidly. Thames Water supplied bottled water to water-dependent customers and provided support to customers who have been affected by flooding. At 4pm on Saturday Thames Water confirmed water supply was restored, however some customers could still experience low water pressure. This comes nearly two weeks after a burst pipe left homes in Abingdon with little or no water. Thames Water announced that a hosepipe ban will be implemented last month impacting millions of customers, with Oxfordshire included.
