Homes left without water
HUNDREDS of homes in Southampton have been without water for most of the day after a mains pipe burst this morning.
A 15 inch pipe has ruptured cutting the water supply to homes in the Chilworth area of the city.
It took several hours for Southern Water to locate the pipe, which ran across private land, but engineers are now on scene and hope to rezone water from other areas to restore supply for residents shortly.
