Burst Water Main – Broughton

exclamation icon

Updated: 22:00 15 August 2025

We can confirm that the repair of the burst water main in Broughton has been completed this afternoon.

The work of re-filling the water network has also started. This will take time as we need to avoid causing any secondary bursts on this extensive network which is over 500km.

The disruption will continue over the next 48 hours as the network gradually refills. While we aim to restore the majority of supplies to customers tomorrow, supplies will not be fully restored to everybody until Sunday.

We are extremely sorry about this disruption as it is longer than we had hoped but the repair has proved challenging given that the water main is 5m deep and surrounded by underground utility cables.

We are continuing to support our most vulnerable customers while also supporting 2 hospitals and 20 care homes.

Customers whose water supplies are affected can collect an alternative water supply at:

  • Jade Jones Pavilion, Flint CH6 5ER
  • Park & Ride Car Park, Deeside Industrial Park, CH5 2NY
  • Car Park at County Hall Car Park, Mold CH7 6NF

We ask that customers only take the bottled water that is needed. If customers have any elderly or vulnerable family members, friends or neighbours we urge you to check in with them to ensure they have bottled water.

We have confirmed compensation arrangements and also issued an open letter to our customers here.
