There are still road closures in effect. United Utilities has reassured residents that discoloured water is probably not dangerous and will eventually clear up.

According to a statement, the problem has arisen due to the accumulation of sediment over a long period of time in the water pipe.

People living in the area are recommended to keep their cold water tap slightly open until the water becomes clear once more.

A video was taken at Fishergate Hill, capturing the scene of the road closure. The owner of Dvino Wines, located near the closed road, expressed that he was not surprised by the closure, despite it being due to a burst pipe. He mentioned that previous construction work at the junction took longer than anticipated, causing inconvenience. Additionally, the road was closed again for broadband installation, and upon arriving at work this morning, he found the road closed once more.

We are currently at Fishergate Hill where there has been a burst in the water pipe. The latest update from United Utilities is that repairs are now in progress. Although our team still needs to do some work to fully restore supplies and get everything back to normal, they are working as quickly as possible to do so. However, it's possible that some customers may experience discolored water due to the burst on Fishergate Hill. This burst has caused disturbance to the water main, which has in turn disrupted the sediments that have built up over time in the pipe, resulting in the discoloration. While it may not look pleasant, there is no need to worry as it is unlikely to be harmful and the water will eventually clear up with time. Running your cold water tap at a slight trickle can help speed up the process. Rest assured that we are closely monitoring the situation and are dedicated to returning your tap water to normal as quickly as possible. For more information, please visit our discolored water page. We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience this may be causing. We will update the page with more information once we have an update on the repairs.

Nevertheless, certain customers might encounter water that has changed color. This occurrence is a result of the burst that occurred on Fishergate Hill, which has disrupted the water main. The disturbance has caused the release of sediment that has accumulated in the pipe over an extended period of time, leading to the discolouration of the water.

We understand that the appearance may be unappealing, but there is no need to worry as it is unlikely to cause any harm and will eventually return to its normal state. You can assist in the process by allowing a small amount of water from your cold water tap to flow until the water becomes clear again.

We will be closely monitoring the situation to ensure that your tap water returns to its normal state as soon as possible. For additional details, please visit our webpage dedicated to discolored water.

We appreciate your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience this might have caused.

Once we receive new information about the repairs, we will make sure to update the page with the latest details.

St Oswald's Catholic Primary School in Longton.

United Utilities has provided an update regarding their operations. They have mentioned that certain parts of their network are located underground, requiring them to dig in order to access them. However, this digging process can create potential hazards for both their customers and workers. As a result, they have emphasized the need to implement traffic management measures before commencing their work. Although their main priority is to restore supplies, they are also committed to ensuring the safety of everyone involved. They kindly ask for patience as they work towards resolving the situation and apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Our main focus is to bring back the supplies, but we must also make sure that the safety of everyone involved is maintained during the restoration process.
