A utility company is working to restore water pressure to homes following a burst water pipe.

United Utilities said a burst pipe on Old Farmside, Ewood has been spotted and reported to them. This was believed to be the cause of no water or low pressure in the BB1, BB2 and BB3 postcode areas.

United Utilities said: “Our team are on site and will work as quickly as they can to get this fixed.

“Thank you for your patience, we hope to have things back to normal as soon as possible.”
