Engineers are set to work through the night to restore water to households across Merseyside.
People living in the L21, L30, L9, L23, L10 and L22 postcodes are currently without water or are experiencing low water pressure due to a burst main on Church Road/Dunnings Bridge Road in Litherland. A section of the road remains closed in both directions from Park Lane to Hawthorne Road after it was submerged in water in the early hours of Saturday.
United Utilities are still at the scene 15 hours later and teams will be working through the night to make the necessary repairs. The water company said it hopes to be able to get water flowing to the majority of households within the next few hours, but some customers may be affected for longer.
