Burst Water Pipe Causes Service Disruption in Malvern
What happened
On October 19, 2026, a burst water pipe caused water supply disruption in Malvern, affecting properties in the WR14 area. Residents reported low pressure and lack of water, and Malvern Parish Primary School was forced to close. Severn Trent notified residents of the issue at 8 am and initially estimated the repair would be complete by 4 pm, though they later confirmed the repair was taking longer than anticipated due to a booster failure.
