Update as of 4:30am on 24.07.22

A spokesperson for Sefton Council said: “One of the water mains on Church Road burst in the early hours of Saturday (23rd July) morning.

“United Utilities staff are at the site and will be working through the night to make the necessary repairs.

”Residents can get the latest update by checking the United Utilities website – https://www.unitedutilities.com/emergencies/up-my-street/l21-liverpool/

“The repairs may take some time so United Utilities are bringing in water from other areas of the network and using water tankers to help with this so they can get water to taps.

”United Utilities hope to be able to get water flowing for the majority of residents in the next few hours, some will be affected for longer but will be kept updated on progress.

”In the meantime, United Utilities have a bottle water station set up at Netherton Activity Centre, Glovers Lane, L30 3TL that will be there until 21:30.

”A section of Dunnings Bridge Road remains closed as a result of the burst water mains. People travelling in the area are advised to plan their route.”
