A Swindon business could be without water for more than two days following a burst pipe which has led to flooding.
The team at the Mercedes-Benz garage located on Drakes Way have been affected following the burst, which has led to a small flood on the road near their dealership.
Thames Water has confirmed that a pipe has burst, with engineers on-site to handle the issue.
The fix will not be quick though as a member of staff at Mercedes-Benz Swindon told the Adver of the expected lengthy delays.
“The water is going to be shut off for 48 hours or more,” said the staff member, who wished to remain anonymous.
“Our toilets will affected as well as the sinks so it is a real inconvenience to both staff and customers.”
The flooding covers an area of Drakes Way outside the garage and the Big Yellow Self Storage unit.
A Thames Water spokesperson said: “We’ve received reports of flooding on Drakes Way and our engineers are currently on site investigating a burst pipe.
"We’re working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible and apologise for any disruption caused.”
