Heyford Hill roundabout in Oxford, outside Littlemore, was underwater, and Thames Valley Police and Thames Water were called to help. According to the water company, there is low water pressure in parts of the city and no water. Roads, footways, and cycle routes have been closed.

According to the water company, its engineers are investigating the issue. The Thames Water spokesperson stated that the company is reaching out to everyone in the affected area who has pre-registered as having particular requirements, like being medically dependent on water, to receive the support and assistance they need.

There were 150 calls from customers throughout the morning to the water company, and Andrew Gant, Oxfordshire County Council's cabinet member for highways, told the company they needed to improve.
