Updated: 13:30 04 September 2025

Our teams have worked overnight to fix the burst water main and supply bottled water to over 700 vulnerable customers. The burst water main has now been fixed, and water supplies are now restored due to rezoning and tankering operations.

We are in the process of re-filling the network but this needs to be done carefully and slowly to avoid any further bursts. Some customers may still experience intermittent supply, low pressure or discoloured water as things return to normal. The bottled water stations will remain open this morning.

Bottled water stations are available at:

  • Eastern Leisure Centre, Llanrumney Avenue, CF3 4DN
  • Tesco Supermarket, St Mellons, CF3 0EF

We’d like to apologise for the inconvenience this has caused customers.
