Abergavenny: Burst water main hits 4,000 homes

Four schools were closed and 4,000 homes were left without water by a burst water main.

Welsh Water said it had been working overnight to repair the main in Abergavenny, which had been "damaged by a third party".

Monmouthshire council said King Henry VIII, Ysgol Y Fenni, Our Lady and St Michael's RC schools were closed on Tuesday.

The water company apologised and said the burst water main, near Brecon Road, had been fixed by the early afternoon.
