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.
We’re sorry to interrupt your day but some customers in #BB8 #Colne may have no water or low water pressure. This is due to a burst pipe on Skipton Road & our engineers are currently carrying out the repairs. Updates will be available on our website https://t.co/o3sJDWpLTO.
