A statement on the Anglian Water website says: “We’re really sorry but some customers in Rushden may have very low water pressure or no water at all.

“We’ve got a burst main in your area that we’re working hard to get fixed so that we can get your supply back to normal as soon as possible.

“Our team have arrived on site and a road closure is required on College Street whilst we undertake the repair.”

Anglian Water had said it was hoping to have the issue resolved by midday today, although the estimate has now been extended to 4pm.

A message posted on the school website says: “The school will be closed today as there is a burst water main and we have no water.

“The school should be open tomorrow.”
