Penarth water loss reported after pipe bursts overnight

Water was flowing on to the road on Monday morning

Parts of a town were without water after a pipe burst during the night.

Welsh Water said the main near Cogan, Vale of Glamorgan, had hit supplies to Penarth, including the centre, where people had low pressure or no water.

There was also congestion after the A4055 northbound to Cardiff was closed from the traffic lights at the Baron's Court junction.

Tankers were pumping water back into the system to try to keep supplies active, with work set to finish later.

The burst was reported at 04:00 BST and Welsh Water said it hoped to have services restored by early afternoon.

People have been advised to run cold water from kitchen taps until it runs clear if their water was discoloured.
