Schools were closed and homes were left without water on Monday after a burst water pipe caused major flooding in Altrincham. Homeowners in the WA15 postcode area were left with no water or low pressured water, with many roads left completely flooded in the early hours of the morning.
Throughout Monday (November 21), United Utilities remained at the site of the burst, at the junction of Wellington Road and Stockport Road. It was first reported shortly after midnight, with the area quickly flooding, with water up to knee level in some areas, causing chaos for drivers on the early morning commute.
In a video clip shared with the Manchester Evening News , cars can be seen wading through the waterlogged streets. Pictures showed bins floating around and cars stranded. A number of roads in the Timperley area, including Woodlands Parkway and Wellington Road, were severely impacted throughout the day.
