A WATER leak has affected the supply for householders in the Rossendale area since lunchtime.
Engineers from United Utilities have been out in the Hargreaves Avenue area since noon after residents reported either no supply or low pressures.
A United Utilities spokesman said: "We’ve been out to see what might be causing this and found a burst pipe on Hargreaves Drive.
"We’re sorry for the trouble this may be causing and we will get taps flowing normally again as quickly as we can."
