A BURST water pipe has meant some parts of a Gwent town is without clean water.
Residents across the Dany-Y-Graig area of Risca are receiving no water or very low pressured water after a pipe has been burst.

Some residents say that they have been contacted by Welsh Water who said that it is expected to have the pipe repaired and water resumed later this afternoon.
A Welsh Water spokesman said: “We are aware of a burst water main in the Risca area of Newport which is affecting a very small number of properties, and are working to repair the burst as quickly as possible.
“We apologise to anyone whose supply has been affected and assure them we are working to restore normal service as soon as possible.”
