Here's the most recent statement from Bristol Water:

This is a major incident that we are working hard to resolve. We currently have around 13,000 properties still out of water. We are hoping to rezone some of these areas, if you currently have no water then it is likely this will still be the case into this evening. Please make alternative arrangements for water. We currently don’t have an estimated time when the supply will be restored.

Alternative water can be found at the below locations, we are looking at other locations:

• Ashton Way, Keynsham
• Waitrose, Keynsham
• Asda, Longwell Green
• Manor Road, Keynsham

We're hearing that Wellsway School, St John's School, Chandag Infants, Chandag Juniors and the IKB Academy - all in Keynsham - will stay closed tomorrow following the burst water main issues.

Although it's predicted the supply will be restored by midnight, the schools say they're not confident of the water tanks being able to cope in order for toilets to flush and cooking to be done.

St Keyna school in Keynsham (pictured) has said it will open tomorrow until 12pm, whether there is water or not, but has asked those who have mains water to take in as much as they can to help with toilet flushing.

The Home Office investigation covered a period of six years from 2011.

Councillor Donald Davies, chair of Avon Fire Authority - who has been part of the authority since May 2015 - said the Home Office report made for "difficult reading".

Senior officers, including the chief fire officer, enjoyed pay rises of up to 8% while firefighters pay was capped, a Home Office investigation has found.

In one instance in March 2011, officials on the authority's Special Purposes Committee (SPC) agreed a reduction in pay of 22% for chief fire officer Kevin Pearson (pictured).

But Mr Pearson was able to claim on his pension to cancel out the reduction, making the pay cut an "illusory sacrifice".

In another "highly unusual arrangement" in 2011, deputy chief fire officer Jerry O'Brien spent 12 months on gardening leave with a £25,000 allowance which boosted his final salary pension and lump sum.

Meanwhile, the report found "a perceived view that bullying and harassment was endemic in the organisation".

"This is a serious cultural issue for the authority that leaders must address as a matter of priority," it said.

The leadership of Avon Fire Authority is undermining its duties to the public and should be replaced, a Home Office report says, external.

It unearthed an "old boys club" culture where senior officers enjoyed big pay rises and enhanced pensions.

The report found there was a perceived view that bullying and harassment was "endemic".

Authority chair Donald Davies said "mistakes have been made and cannot be ignored".

• The water main in Willsbridge burst at about midnight
• Some 17,500 homes in the Bristol area are still affected
• At its peak, 35,000 homes were without water or had low pressure
• Thirteen schools have closed
• Bottled water is being provided and bowsers supplied in Keynsham
• Some cafes and shops in Keynsham have also shut
• Water supply has already been restored to Whitchurch, Brislington and Stockwood
• Some people have complained about the lack of bowsers in Longwell Green and Hanham

Around 16,000 homes are still without water in parts of south and east Bristol, after a major water main burst.

Two bowsers were brought in as an emergency measure.

Bristol Water says its teams are "still working hard on site to fix the issue" but Ben Newby, from the company, said it's a "complex job".

Bristol Water says it is waiting for an update from engineers on site before deciding whether to send more bowsers out.

Stockwood, Whitchurch and Brislington "should" have had their water supply back at around 10:00am this morning, according to Bristol Water.

But as a second bowser is set up at Waitrose in Broadmead Lane, the company has tweeted that only "some customers" in Stockwood have reported "they are back in water".

We've been hearing concerns from residents outside Keynsham at the lack of bowsers.

Jan Meager said: "There is nothing in Hanham, Longwell Green and there is no other ones around Bristol - except the three in Keynsham.

"Nobody is helping us and I'm disabled and there's nothing in the area.

"They can put a bowser in Hanham - they've closed the school and they know there's a problem."

He added that he could get water as he had a car but there were older people in the area who were unable to get to Keynsham.

Kingswood MP Chris Skidmore has also raised the issue with Bristol Water.

Bristol Water staff report a steady flow of people coming to fill up containers in the Waitrose car park in Keynsham - and they also get a free biscuit.

Bristol Water says it only has one water bowser being set up at Ashton Way Car Park in Keynsham, at the moment.

The company said it will be providing "further information and times of delivery on the other bowser locations when we know more".
