SWINDON'S Wood Street was without water for about an hour today.

Manni Madhani, director of Bardolino's, said: "I've got 100 people walking in for lunch and I've got no water.

"I've just told customers [many in for Christmas lunches] we will do our best to serve their meals."

Thames Water engineers said they shut a valve to investigate a leak in the SN1 postcode area.

"Your water is now restored. Sorry for any inconvenience caused," the company tweeted at about 1.25pm.

  • Water has been shut off in Conway Road as Thames Water engineers repair a leak there.
