Water is set to be restored to hundreds of Oxfordshire homes after a main burst in a field near the A40 this morning.
Hundreds of homes in Thame and Garsington were cut off at about 6.30am.
Thames Water engineers say people should have their water back on by 1pm.
Great Milton C of E Primary School and Garsington C of E Primary School closed following the incident.
Thames Water spokesman Amy Dutton said between 300 and 400 people had contacted the company about a loss of pressure or being cut off.
She said: “We hope water will be back within the next couple of hours.
“We are sorry for the inconvenience this is causing and would like to assure customers that we are working as quickly as possible to restore full water supplies."
