Wirral water supplies update: Sunday, May 23 (6pm)

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 alternative supply vehicles on-site and water is being pumped into the network.

We have also made arrangements for bottled water to be available from 7pm at the following locations:

Cricket Club, Rake Lane, Wallasey
Atherton House , Albion Street, Wallasey
Kirkway Junction of Mount Pleasant, Wallasey

Arrangements are also being made to deliver bottled water to vulnerable customers.

We hope to have supplies in the area back to normal by the morning.

We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.
