A burst Thames Water pipe causes water outages and low pressure, leading to school closures across parts of London and Surrey. Multiple outlets report the incident begins on Monday after a water main bursts and leaks at a rate described as about 750 litres per second.
Thames Water says around 6,000 properties across five south London boroughs and two Surrey boroughs experience either no water or low pressure. The outages affect homes, businesses, and schools. The Daily Mail reports a broader customer impact figure of about 15,000 residents in Molesey, Surrey, focusing on local disruption, while other reporting highlights the wider borough totals provided by Thames Water. All accounts agree the leak is the cause of the disruption and that water supply issues persist for some areas.
