THOUSANDS of homes and 13 schools have been left without water in South Gloucestershire and South Bristol this morning due to a burst water main.
Homes in Longwell Green, Hanham, Keynsham, Stockwood, Willsbridge and Whitchurch have been affected by the burst, with teams from Bristol Water currently trying to fix the problem.
The isolation of the burst, which occurred in Willsbridge, has begun, but Bristol Water say they do not yet know how long it will take for their customers to have the water supply returned.
