HOMES and businesses in Finchampstead are without water after a pipe burst.

The outage - which is also affecting the paddling pool, toilets and café at California Country Park - has been caused by a ruptured water main in Nine Mile Ride.

The facilities at California Country Park have been closed temporarily.

A spokeswoman for South East Water said: "We currently have a burst water main which may be affecting some customers in the RG40 area. Customers may be experiencing no water or low water pressure.

"We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused and reassure customers that we are working hard to fix the main as quickly as possible."
