RESIDENTS in an East Lancashire town may not have water supplies due to a burst pipe.

United Utilities have tweeted about the incident at 11am this morning.

A spokesman said people may have noticed the water coming out of their taps is slower than usual or may have gone off.

"A burst pipe on Skipton Road has been reported to us and we have a team of engineers on site carrying out an emergency repair.

"We’re sorry for the trouble this may be causing you and we will get your taps flowing normally again as quickly as we can."
