A disabled man who has covid drank "basically nothing" and struggled to take his medication after a burst pipe left him without tap water for two days.
People across six Merseyside postcodes were left with little or no water over the weekend after a pipe burst in the early hours of Saturday (July 25). The burst pipe on Church Road, Litherland flooded the street, closing it from Netherton Way to Hawthorne Road.
The issue affected around 32,000 people living in the the L21, L30, L9, L23, L10 and L22 postcode areas. As a result, many businesses had to shut and free bottled water was handed out at stations in Crosby, Netherton and Litherland.
