We’re sorry to let customers know that we have had further problems with the temporary repair we put in place at the burst water main in Broughton. This means that we must now carry out a full emergency repair and this is again impacting on water supplies to customers in the following communities: Flint, Holywell, Ffynnongroyw, Greenfield, Llanerch y Mor, Mostyn, Oakenholt, Talacre, Whitford, Queensferry, Shotton, Connah's Quay, Garden City, Hawarden, Mancot and Sandycroft.

To support affected customers:

  • There are now bottled water stations available at:
    • Jade Jones Pavilion, Flint CH6 5ER
    • Park & Ride Car Park, Deeside Industrial Park, CH5 2NY
    • County Hall Car Park, Mold CH7 6NF.

We ask that customers work with us and take only what you need.

  • We are continuing to deliver bottled water to our most vulnerable customers
  • We have contacted customers in the affected area by text message.

Please be assured our teams have been working through the night and are working hard to resolve this significant incident as quickly and safely as possible.
