A high school and eight Cardiff schools have had to shut at short notice because large parts of the city have been left with no water. Welsh Water says teams are dealing with the burst water main in the Llanedeyrn area of the Cardiff.
Cardiff Council announced mid morning on Monday (November 14) that St Teilo’s Church in Wales School will be closing, "due to the ongoing impact of a burst water main affecting the east of the city". A spokesman added: "It had been hoped that the school could remain open with the assistance of tankers provided by Welsh Water."
Two properties in Roundwood, Llanedeyrn, were also in danger of being flooded after the burst main was reported early on Monday. A spokesman for Cardiff Council said: "The council’s Highways Emergency Engineer received a call around 5.30am advising that two properties in Roundwood were in danger of flooding. We immediately sent out an officer with sandbags to help protect the properties."
