🚨 **Major Water Outage Continues in Flintshire!** 🚨
⚠️ **Dŵr Cymru/Welsh Water Update**: As a burst water main in Broughton wreaks havoc, many residents are facing a second day without water. The water company is working around the clock on difficult repairs. Water interruptions are expected to last into Friday evening. 💧
🆘 **Key Info**:
– Engineers are tackling a tricky pipe repair buried 4 metres underground, close to electric cables.
– Bottled water stations remain open at these locations:
– Jade Jones Pavilion, Flint CH6 5ER
– Park & Ride Car Park, Deeside Industrial Park, CH5 2NY
– County Hall Car Park, Mold CH7 6NF
🧾 **Compensation**: Household customers will automatically receive £30 for every 12 hours without water, and businesses will get £75. Plus, business customers can claim for lost income. 💷
🌡️ As you navigate this disruption, remember:
– Stay hydrated 🥤
– Wash hands with soap or use alcohol gel before meals, after the loo, and when changing nappies.
– Never use supermarket bottled water for baby formula; use only the water provided by Welsh Water after boiling and cooling it.
📢 **Message from Health Authorities**:
– Use leftover cooking water for toilet flushing.
– Seek safe water alternatives, like garden water butts, for non-drinking purposes.
🕦 **What’s Next?**
