A third water main has burst in Spalding.
Anglian Water says it had fixed the burst pipe on Haverfield Road, but now another has this afternoon (September 4) burst further down Winsover Road from where another leak occurred yesterday.
The road is now also closed at its junction with St Thomas’s Road.
Though the leak is fixed, Haverfield Road remains closed with a huge hole in it.
An Anglian Water spokesperson said: “We’re really sorry that some customers in Spalding are still seeing issues with their water supply.
“Our teams have repaired the burst mains which initially caused this, so some customers may have started to see their water supply restored, but we’ve now found another burst on the pipe.
We’re working on site now to repair this third burst, and get everyone back on water as quickly as we can.
“In the meantime, we are still delivering bottled water directly to affected customers’ homes today.
“Some customers have already received this, but if you’re in the affected area and haven’t had your delivery yet, it will be with you today.
“In order to keep our teams and other road users safe while we work, we’ve closed St. Thomas’ Road at the junction with Winsover Road. This is in addition to existing closures on Winsover Road and Haverfield Road.
“We’re really sorry again for the disruption we’ve caused to your week – thanks to our customers in Spalding for bearing with us while we get things back to normal. We’ll keep our website updated with the latest here: Additional contact”
Anglian Water said this morning it hoped to get water back on for the whole of Spalding by 8pm tonight. It had ‘completely’ stopped water to the town for a short period so that repairs could be made to the initial two leaks.
