NI Water say they are dealing with a 250% increase in the number of burst mains and are aware of an increase in customer side related issues as a result of the current very cold weather.
They are planning and mobilising their resources to address any issues which might arise from extreme weather conditions and the anticipated thaw. It is their priority to ensure customers do not experience an interruption to their water supply.
NI water's teams will continue to work around the clock, in freezing conditions, to ensure any issues on our network are resolved as quickly as possible. This will continue into the weekendand next week as the thaw sets in.
They've appealed to customers to be extra vigilant about bursts on their own property and would ask those with empty properties or properties that have been closed for a few days, to keep checking them.
If you spot a burst pipe while you are out and about, whether it’s a trickle of water or a gushing pipe, please let them know.
The public can alert them on NI Water's website or by phoning their dedicated Leakline number (0800 028 2011), which is open 24 hours a day and all calls are free of charge.
