AN investigation carried out by United Utilities has identified that a burst water main has prevented some residents from having access to water.
As of this morning, residents of Coniston may have experienced little to no water coming out of their taps.
After inspectors from United Utilities carried out an investigation in the area it is now believed that a burst water main in a field is the cause of the problem.
A team of engineers have now arrived on site and repairs are due to commence as soon as it is safe to do so.
A spokesman from United Utilities has thanked residents for their continued patience and will provide an update as soon as the repairs are underway.
