Residents in Newport have been left without water due to a burst water pipe which has shut a main road in both directions. Residents in postcodes NP19 and NP20 which include parts of St Julian's, Lliswerry, Beechwood and Christchurch are currently without water due to a burst pipe which has forced Welsh Water to temporarily close Chepstow Road both ways from Aberthaw Road to Ringwood Avenue.
Residents first reported trouble with their water supply on Tuesday night and some are completely without water this morning. Welsh Water has confirmed it is dealing with the burst water main and that residents may not have their water fully restored until this afternoon. The Welsh Water website says people in the affected areas might experience low or no supply, and has asked those with water to run their cold tap to clear any discolouration before using their water.
