"Once it's fixed, your water may be cloudy or discoloured - you can clear this by running your tap for a few minutes.”

Emergency roadworks are taking place to repair the burst water main.

This has led to diversions to a bus service through the area.

The Team Pennine 577 service will be diverting via Sowerby New road going into Halifax.
