Burst Main Leaves Winford And Newchurch Residents Without Water

A burst water main has flooded a road in Winford and left hundreds of properties without water this afternoon (Monday).

Residents in Newchurch and Winford will be without water for an indeterminate period of time.

Contractors have started work to repair the main, with three-way traffic lights in place along the area adjacent to Forest Road and Watery Lane — both in the PO36 postcode region.

Meanwhile, Island Roads has confirmed the closure of Forest Road:

A spokesperson for Southern Water said:

“We’re sorry some customers PO36 area may have suffered low pressure or loss of water.

"We are on site and further information will be provided as soon as possible.

"For the latest information, please check our website.”
