A block of flats in Salford has been left without water for 30 hours - resulting in one resident walking all the way to a nearby Tesco to go to the toilet.
A letter sent to residents of Malus Court in Pendleton explained that the water supply needed to be turned off across the entire block in order to repair a water leak.
Another advised that people 'fill up any pots, pans and buckets available' and that they could use this - alongside bottled water provided - to flush their toilets.
