Homes in Wales are still left without water after dramatic changes in temperature caused a mass outbreak of burst pipes. Residents in one village in Carmarthenshire claim the county had been left without a water supply station for two days.
On Monday night, Dwr Cymru said around 4,000 homes were experiencing intermittent or loss of water supply. Nine schools were closed in Ceredigion on Tuesday, December 20, due to the issue. The water company said they had 500 people working on the issue and water supply has now returned to many areas in the county.
However, villages and towns in Carmarthenshire and Herefordshire are still without water, just days before Christmas. David Hudson, from Llansaint, first noticed the water was off on Sunday, December 18, after trying to boil the kettle. Over 48 hours later they claimed that they still had not heard from Dwr Cymru about when the supply would be back in Caramarthenshire or where they could access bottled water, as Ceredigion already had two pick up points allocated.
