Ten schools in Cardiff have been forced to close after a burst water pipe left parts of the city without water. The burst pipe, affecting areas in west Cardiff, has caused disruptions to schools, homes, and businesses. Among the schools that have closed are Plasmawr School in Fairwater, Danescourt Primary, Mary Immaculate, and Fairwater Primary.
Welsh Water has acknowledged the issue, stating on their website: “We’re aware of a burst on our network which is affecting water supply in the CF5 area. Until the pipe is fixed, you might experience low pressure or no water.” Engineers are currently working to repair the burst pipe to restore water supply to the affected areas.
The impact of the burst water pipe has prompted urgent responses from authorities as the lack of water poses challenges to the daily operations of schools and local establishments. Stay tuned for further updates on the situation.
