Burst Water Main Floods Stutton Homes as Repair Work Overruns

Anglian Water says repairs are more complex than first estimated.

Overview

  • Four homes were inundated and several businesses were affected after a pipe burst on Manningtree Road in the early hours of Wednesday.
  • Anglian Water extended its restoration timetable due to unexpected complications and warned residents to expect very low pressure or no water.
  • Manningtree Road remains closed for a large excavation to reach the break, and no reopening date has been set.
  • Fire crews from Haverhill and Holbrook pumped floodwater and carried out door-to-door welfare checks as UK Power Networks isolated electricity.
  • Nearby routes including Alton Hall Lane, Church Road and Baytree Road were impacted, with no casualties reported.
