RESIDENTS in parts of Flintshire are currently without or have very little running water, Welsh Water has said.

The company says "operational issues" are currently affecting properties in the Hawarden and Ewloe areas, but hopes to have the issue resolved later this morning.

A Welsh Water spokesperson said: "We're aware that customers living in this area may have no water or low pressure at the moment due to operational issues.

"All supplies should be restored by later this morning,

"If the water is discoloured when it comes back please run your cold kitchen tap for a while to help it clear. We apologise for any inconvenience caused."
