AROUND 150 properties are currently without water in an area of Colne, according to United Utilities.
Engineers were alerted to Parker Street to reports of a burst cast iron water main at around 10.50am this morning.
Around 40 calls were made to United Utilities from people saying they had either no water or just a trickle.
However, the water company said numbers affected were higher.
A spokesperson apologised for the trouble and added: "Repairs are almost complete and things should be back to normal within the next couple of hours.”
