Roads:

• The water main has burst on Spennels Valley road, at the Junction of the A448 Bromsgrove to Kidderminster road.
• The Spennels island is impassable due to a water leak
• Re-directing traffic up A450 has caused gridlock at the Black Bridge.

Kate Cox, from Severn Trent Water, says it may take some time to restores people's water.

"It means in the short term that people are either going to have very poor pressure at their taps or no water at all.

"Until we can re-jig the system, shut off the damaged section of main and get water in to the area via different routes it does mean that water supplies are going to be affected"
