ENGINEERS from United Utilities are investigating a lack of water supply in the Grange area.

The issue was reported to the water supply company at 8.30am this morning.

In an update posted online, United Utilities said: "You may have noticed that the water is coming out of your tap slower than usual or may have gone off altogether. We have one of our inspectors looking into this at the moment and as soon as we know what the cause of the problem is we’ll let you know.

"We’re sorry about this and will try and get your taps flowing normally as quickly as we can. We’ll keep you posted as soon as we know what’s causing the problem."
