A water outage closed two schools in Norfolk town this morning.
The incident affected Downham Market Academy and Hillcrest Primary School, both based in the Downham Market area.
A spokesperson for Downham Market Academy said: "We have no water so are closing immediately."
Both schools were closed this morning due to a loss of mains water - which has since been restored.
