A large water leak along Winkfield Road producing ‘torrents’ of water is being fixed over the next few days, Thames Water has said.
The Express received reports that many homes in the area list pressure and some lost water.
There are temporary lights in at the bottom of St Leonards Hill at Winkfield Road.
Thames Water has confirmed it has identified a leak on the junction between these roads and team of engineers has been dispatched to contain and fix it.
The repair will be carried out over the next few days (December 17-19).
As such, traffic management has been implemented to ensure that the engineers ‘can work as safely and quickly as possible.’
A Thames Water spokesperson said: “Our engineers have identified a leak between St Leonards Hill and Winkfield Road which requires an emergency fix which we are working on.
“Our team is currently on site and is working as quickly and safely as possible. We apologise for any inconvenience this has caused to residents.”
