Bristol Water Restores Supply After Kingswood Main Burst as Road Repairs Continue

The rupture initially cut off 9,291 properties, forcing school closures across east Bristol.

Overview

  • Bristol Water repaired the Tenniscourt Road main on Friday evening and recharged the network, with supply returning overnight.
  • Bottled water hubs at Asda Longwell Green and Sainsbury's Emersons Green supported residents during the day and closed at 10pm.
  • The company warned of short‑lived discolouration following the repair and advised running the cold kitchen tap to clear it.
  • Tenniscourt Road remains closed for reinstatement works after a large hole was left in the carriageway.
  • Rerouting cut the number of properties off from 9,291 to about 4,500 during the day, and priority deliveries were made to vulnerable customers.
