A week ago Yorkshire Water said approximately 8,000 York properties lost their water supplies when a mains pipe burst in York's Wigginton Road.

On that occasion City of York Council said Headlands, Wigginton, Lakeside, Robert Wilkinson, Ralph Butterfield and Huntington Primary Schools were all closed.
