Dw\[u0302]r Cymru 'extremely sorry' as businesses and homes still have no water

Broughton, affecting supplies to customers in parts of Flintshire, will be completed this afternoon.

- 

"We will then need to refill the water network. This will take time as we need to avoid causing any secondary bursts on this extensive network which is over 500km

"This means that the disruption will continue over the next 48 hours as the network gradually refills.

"While we aim to restore the majority of supplies to customers tomorrow, supplies will not be fully restored to everybody until Sunday.

"We are extremely sorry about this disruption as it is longer than we had hoped but the repair has proved challenging given that the water main is 5m deep and surrounded by underground utility cables.

"We are continuing to support our most vulnerable customer while also supporting two hospitals and 20 care homes."

Customers whose water supplies are affected can collect an alternative water supply at: Jade Jones Pavilion, Flint CH6 5ER; Park & Ride Car Park, Deeside Industrial Park, CH5 2NY; and County Hall Car Park, Mold CH7 6NF.
