Emergency closure of second Calderdale school
A second Calderdale school has announced it will have to close today.
No water means Cross Lane Primary School will shut at 12.30pm.
The school has posted: “The school remains without water, like most of the community.
"We have been informed that Yorkshire Water has identified the problem in the local area but are awaiting further support from their health and safety department this afternoon.”
As reported by the Courier, The Brooksbank School in Elland announced this morning it would be closed today to all pupils except those taking exams, also because it has no water.
“All exams will go ahead as planned, and appropriate arrangements have been put in place to support candidates while on site,” says the school.
"We apologise for the inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding.”
Yorkshire Water says it is aware some customers in Elland have no water or low water pressure.
Its website says: “We're really sorry but customers may have low pressure or no water in the area.
"We're working hard to get your water back to normal as soon as possible.
"Once it's fixed, your water may be cloudy or discoloured - you can clear this by running your tap for a few minutes.”
