Greater Manchester area STILL without water after power cut with emergency water stations set up

An area of Greater Manchester is still without water due to a power cut yesterday (November 11) evening. Bottled water stations have re-opened this morning in Stockport for people to collect free bottled water while there is disruption.

It was reported last night that a number of homes in Stockport and Hazel Grove were without running water due to a power cut causing 'technical issues' at a local water treatment works. Bottled water stations were set-up for those affected to be able to collect water, closing at 10pm last night and reopening at 8am this morning.

United Utilities has apologised this morning to those still experiencing issues with 'good progress' made to fix the issue overnight. They say the situation will continue to improve throughout the day while more water is put back into the system.
