A third bottled water station has been opened in Stockport with hundreds of residents still said to be without water. A power cut on Friday night temporarily shut down a water treatment works in the borough, bosses at water company United Utilities said.
This meant some of those liviing in central Stockport, Bredbury, Cheadle, Romiley, Bramhall, Woodford and Hazel Grove were left with no water running from their household taps or extremely low pressure meaning water was just dribbling out.
Two c ollection points for households to pick up free bottled water were set up in Hazel Grove and High Lane. And a third station has been opened in Offerton this morning with scores still reporting having no water or poor pressure more than 18 hours after the issue first arose.
