Storm Emma: Welsh Water supplies restored to most homes

People had to queue for bottled water from Welsh Water in Blaenau Ffestiniog, Gwynedd, on Monday

Water supplies have been restored to most homes caused by burst pipes after Storm Emma, Welsh Water has said.

Staff have fixed leaks overnight to the majority of customers after 1,000 properties in Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and Anglesey were affected.

Some customers lost water on Friday, prompting frustration and anger over delays about receiving supplies of bottled water.

Welsh Water apologised and said it was dealing with 200 leaks per day.

The company said less than 100 properties now remained without water.

However, Dean Skates in the Trefin, Pembrokeshire, said he believed hundreds of homes remained without water in the village.

Residents were provided with 18 two litre bottles per house on Monday evening, but he said he had been unable to wash, as he was using it for tea and to flush his toilet.

Mr Skates said no indication had been given about when the supply would be restored.
