A BURST water pipe has seen some people left without water for most of this weekend.

United Utilities was alerted to some people not having water in Tottington yesterday morning.

The cause was found to be a leak on a field off Kirklees Street.

A team of engineers attended yesterday morning and worked throughout the night to try and fix the problem.

Mobile tankers were sent to start pumping water into the network to try and get water flowing again.

The leak was repaired in the early hours of the morning but some customers still were not getting water.

The investigation into the problem is continuing.
