A WATER main in Blackburn has burst causing little or no water pressure in homes.

Buildings in BB1 may be suffering poor water pressure due to the issue in Wimberley Gardens.

A United Utilities spokesman said a water main in Shear Brow had been detected earlier this morning but repairs were carried out.

He said: "Our team of engineers have now completed the repairs to the leak on Shear Brow however, you may notice you are still experiencing no water or poor pressure this morning.

"Investigations have been carried out and a second burst has been identified on Wimberley Gardens.

"Our water on wheels vehicles are currently setting up near this location to try and maintain supplies whilst works are carried out however, some of you may notice you have no water or poor pressure until the repairs are completed.

"A specialist team have been requested to carry out the repairs and will be onsite as soon as possible.

"We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for bearing with us."
