Wirral water supplies update: Sunday, May 23 (4pm)

23 May 2010

United Utilities is dealing with an unrelated water supply issue in the Wallasey area of Wirral.

The 14,500 customers who have been affected since last Thursday are all back on water supply.

However approximately 4,500 customers who have not previously been affected are experiencing either low pressure or no water supply.

This has been caused by a lack of pressure feeding the area as repairs to a faulty valve remain ongoing.

We have mobilised alternative supply vehicles to the area so they can start pumping water into the main as quickly as possible.

Arrangements are also being made for bottled water to be delivered to the area.

We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.
