is anyone else in moreton got discoloured water ???? i have been on the united utilities website but nothing is being reported !!

it's as far as Birkenhead we have hardley any water here

i live tranmere and we have none.

My water is a slight yellow as normal.

I've been in Wales over Christmas and was told on boxing day that the water was off/discoloured in the Tranmere area, but was back on by the evening.

just been told that there is a mains burst in prenton. i have no water in tranmere.

We've got none, Tranmere, and it was my turn for a wash, never mind there's always next year.

Same here in tranmere

We've still just about got water here, just off Borough Road, but the pressure is currently very low.

Update at 6.06pm - The gang have arrived on site and started the repair.

Yes, if anyone's interested United Utilities are reporting the progress of the repair on the website:-

http://unitedutilities.co.uk/Emergencies.aspx

You have to scroll down to the bottom where it says "Prenton, CH43"

EDIT: Just seen the other thread where this link was also provided.

EDIT: Our water has completely stopped now

they might have turned it all off while they fix the leak.

Yes, I was thinking the same. I guess they'll have to shut off the whole supply so that they can repair it.

Water from the tank is slightly milky here in Wallasey. Direct feed water is fine. Go figure. My tank must be minging.

There's another update on the CH43 fault



As it happens, we're in CH42, but I assume it's the same fault that's affecting everyone locally (our whole street is affected).

No, I've just checked the United Utilities page again, the CH41/CH42 fault is a separate fault, it's just appeared on the page.

that is for livepool, not wirral, I hope CH43/CH42 is he same problem or we could be waiting longer again

Birkenhead, CH41& C42

Start Time: 19.00 PM Tue, 28 December '10

Estimated Completion Time:

Restoration time not yet known

Symptom:

No water or low water pressure

Reason:

We started receiving calls from your area approx 4.25pm this afternoon reporting no water or low water pressure. We are not aware of any planned works that may be causing this and have therefore requested one of our Inspectors go out to investigate. This message will be updated once they report back their findings and any action to be taken.
We apologise for the inconvenience this may be causing and thank you for your patience

Yes you are correct sorry about that, they changed the page just before I copied the text. The CH43 fault has now just been moved further up the page.

Everyone round here is saying the Birkenhead fault is affecting everyone between Derby Road and Woodchurch Road.

That fault on the bottom of the page "CH41/CH42" must be the fault I think, it mentions they were getting reports from around 4:25pm. That was around the time our water pressure went really low.

its further up than derby road cos mines off in marquis street which is off church road

yeah that was around the time I rang them, I did that before "oww it's fixed" then i looked and was like oh no that's livrpool lol.

they have been having calls sine 4.25 then why not send someone out then instead of waiting til 7pm!

Update: (This is the CH41/CH42 one)

Update at 7.22pm - The Inspector has confirmed the cause of the problem was due to a fault on our Water Network. He has corrected this and advised watre supply has been restored to the area. Due to the problem affecting a large area your water supply may take several hours to return to normal. We will also be continuing to monitor the situation.
We apologise for the inconvenience this may be causing and thank you for your patience

Anyway, I wonder what it means "a fault on our Water Network"?

I just thought it was a burst water main.

they switched us off lol

anyone's come back on yet?

No, we're still completely without water here.

no.me too

come on now, a burst water main means there is a fault on your water network.

I'm on Devonshire park and haven't had any Problem with water. Daughter and mum both live in singleton ave and are without water

mine still off, in tranmere.

I'm in singleton and it's back on put low at the moe

Gf's mum just phoned UU & was told will be off for at least another 24 hours!?

Ours came back on sometime around 11:30-12:00 last night.

It's great to have the water back on again, although even now it's not quite back up to 100% pressure. It's still a bit lower than normal here.

I just read the update on the UU site this morning, which states it will take some time for water to be fully restored because such a large area is affected.

What gets me is United Utilities say its a private problem but are happy to still have us paying for a water service that some people can be without for days. Not even able to speak to a customer service person at UU as they have a automated message when you ring them up.
