A BURST water pipe in the B61 area of Bromsgrove has now been fixed after homes were temporarily left without water.

The issue occurred on Elm Grove at around 3.30pm today (March 22) but was fixed by Severn Trent Water repairers at around 5pm.

A spokesman said: "This afternoon we discovered a burst water pipe on Elm Grove which was causing water supplies to be off or at low pressure for some of our customers in the B61 area of Bromsgrove.

"However, all customers should now see water returning.  

"We'd like to thank our customers who were affected for their patience while this repair was carried out.
