Burst water main floods homes and closes roads

A mains pipe burst in Duston, Northampton in the early hours, flooding streets and homes and prompting firefighter evacuations.
Anglian Water says supplies have been restored but some customers may still have low pressure and road closures are likely to remain until the end of the week.
The company warned hot, dry weather and increased water use can stress pipes and cause bursts — a timely reminder of how the weather affects local services.
