United Utilities warning to customers as water starts to return across region

United Utilities have issued a warning as water supplies start to return to normal for thousands of households across the region.

The water board said repairs to the burst water main on Church Road in Litherland are complete and engineers have begun refilling the pipe with water. The issue has affected 32,00 people living in the L21, L30, L9, L23, L10 and L22 postcodes since the early hours of Saturday, who have been left with no or little water.

Pubs and shops were forced to close on Sunday as thousands of drivers queued up to collect bottled water from stations in Crosby, Netherton and Litherland. United Utilities said all customers should start to see supplies return throughout the course of Sunday evening until around 10pm.
