Tankers drafted into area of Manchester after 'fault' leaves hundreds with no water or poor pressure

Water tankers are being used after a 'technical fault' was reported on the network in a large area of Manchester. Hundreds of properties in the M20 postcode area are believed to be suffering from either no water supply or poor water pressure on Sunday.

United Utilities apologised and said its fleet of water tankers were pumping extra water into pipes to help keep taps flowing as repair work continues. The M20 area includes Withington, Didsbury, West Didsbury, Fletcher Moss and part of Parrs Wood.

United Utilities reported 'a technical issue on a valve on our network, which our engineers are working hard to resolve'. Customers are being kept up to date via the website.
