SOUTHERN Water engineers are repairing a leak in a busy Southampton street.

The work involves the closure of the northbound lane of Bullar Road outside The Station pub.

Southbound traffic will not be affected.

It comes after a filtration fault at Southern Water's Otterbourne works resulted in thousands of Southampton and Winchester residents losing their water supply for several days.

The Otterbourne site is now said to be working normally.
