United Utilities explains why town was left without water

Large parts of a Merseyside town were left without water on Sunday evening.

Households in Newton-le-Willows reported having no water or low water pressure at around 6pm on December 19. Some areas of St Helens were also left without water.

Water didn't return for many households until the early hours of Monday morning. One person told the ECHO: "I had no water all evening, it meant I couldn't have a shower or even flush the toilet."
