Schools affected by NI water dispute in County Londonderry

A number of properties remain without water, as industrial action by NI Water staff continues.

In Dungiven, County Londonderry, one school reluctantly had to close due to the disruption.

At one stage on Monday, 6,500 customers were off supply, but by 16:30 GMT, that number had fallen to 4,500.

BBC News NI's Mervyn Jess reports.
