CROOME Court was one of 191 properties without water after a pipe burst today.

The National Trust which has been organising a series of activities over Easter, including egg hunts, urged people to delay their visits via twitter until the problem is fixed.

Engineers are now working on fixing the problem and at around 11.40am today Severn Trent said they had restored water to some homes leaving 81 homes without a water supply.

A spokesman for Severn Trent Water said: “We’d like to apologise to customers who may have been affected by a burst water pipe near Croome Park in Worcester, today.

“We’re working as quickly as possible to get 191 homes back on supply. To do this, we’re moving water from other areas and tankers will be used to pump water to homes that are currently out of supply.

“We’d like to thank customers for calling in to report the issue and thank them for their patience while we work to repair the burst pipe.”
