Morecambe residents suffer water supply problems again due to 'technical fault'

A technical fault has caused more problems with water supply for Morecambe residents.

Householders in the West End reported either low water pressure or no supply at all on Wednesday morning.

This came just weeks after a major water shutdown affecting 16,000 properties left people in the town without supply for days.

United Utilities posted on their website at 9am on Wednesday to acknowledge the issue.

"We're currently investigating a problem in your area, which may mean you have no water, or low water pressure. We're sorry for any inconvenience this is causing, we are working as quickly as we can to get this sorted and have your taps flowing again. We will provide you with an update once we know more."

Then at 10.40am they posted: "All customers should now have supply; our tankers are pumping additional water into the network whilst we fix a technical fault in the area."

United Utilities temporarily shut off the water supply in Morecambe on December 19 to deal with unprecedented pipe bursts and leaks caused by a freeze-thaw in temperatures.
