A burst water pipe collapses a Reading road with a sink hole and disrupts supplies to residents, Caversham Heights, Berkshire, UK - 14 Jan 2025] The water outage is because of a burst pipe in Crystal Palace and Thames Water says engineers have been working throughout the night to fix the issue.
As of 12.40pm this afternoon, Thames Water said it has restored water supply to 5,000 people but many areas continue to experience no water or low pressure.
Gjergj Pjedij, the owner of Roasted Bean, in Crystal Palace, told Metro that while his water pressure is ok at the moment, he’s experienced water pressure issues recently.
20 properties on Kidmore Road in Caversham Heights, Berkshire, have been affected leaving them with little or no water supply with bottled water stations in the street for residents to take whilst the disruption continues.
The water company also said in a statement on its website: ‘We’re pro-actively contacting everyone in the affected area who has pre-registered with us as having special requirements, such as being medically reliant on water, so we can make sure we give them the help and support they need.
