Thousands of households across six North London postcodes are experiencing low water pressure or no water at all this morning after a burst pipe on Woodside Avenue, Muswell Hill. The incident was first reported to MyLondon at 6.45pm on Monday, and Thames Water has been on site since then to address the issue.
Affected Postcodes and Ongoing Repairs
In their latest update, Thames Water confirmed that the following postcodes are still experiencing disruption: N6, N19, NW2, NW3, NW6 and NW11. The company has been working through the night to remedy the situation, but supply issues persist for many residents.
Thames Water stated that Woodside Road will remain closed throughout Tuesday, August 25, while their teams repair the damaged pipe. The closure is necessary to allow crews to access the site and carry out the repair work safely.
Expected Update and Impact on Residents
An update on the supply situation is expected later this morning, according to Thames Water. The company has not yet provided a timeline for when full service will be restored to the thousands of homes affected by the burst main.
Residents in the affected areas have been advised to monitor updates from Thames Water for the latest information on when normal water supply will resume. The burst pipe has caused significant disruption, with many households unable to access water for daily activities such as cooking, cleaning, and personal hygiene.
Continued Monitoring and Next Steps
Thames Water crews remain on site at Woodside Avenue, Muswell Hill, working to complete the repairs as quickly as possible. The company has not indicated how long the repair work will take, but the road closure suggests that the process may extend through the day.
This is a developing situation, and further updates will be provided as more information becomes available. Residents in the affected postcodes are urged to stay informed through official channels and to plan accordingly until water supply is fully restored.
