FLINTSHIRE residents could be without water until later tonight following yesterday's burst pipe.
The burst water main which occurred on Tuesday (September 5) affected the supply in areas of Mold, Buckley, Connah’s Quay and Deeside, and led to road closures.
North Wales Police confirmed that some roads in Buckley are likely to be closed 'for a few days' as a result of the burst main.
A day later and some residents may still be without water, due to the issue not being resolved.
On their website, Welsh Water confirmed they were on site at the issue in Flintshire and are doing 'all they can' to fix it.

The estimated completion time is currently 6.59pm this evening (September 6), meaning some residents could be without water for two days.
A statement on the Welsh Water wesbite said: "We are sorry you may still be experiencing no water or low/intermittent water pressure and discoloured water supply, this is due to a recent burst main repair.
"We have a team still on site and are doing all we can to restore supplies back to normal as soon as possible.
"If your water is discoloured when it returns you could run your water supply from the cold kitchen tap this will help it clear."
