Dozens of businesses and residents have had their water supply restored but road closures are still in place after three main bursts in Halifax town centre.

As reported by the Courier this morning, 57 residential and commercial properties were without water supply after the bursts happened overnight.

A section of Market Street in Halifax town centre is still closed and Northgate, between the junction of Market Street and Winding Road, is shut on one side while repair work is carried out.

Trinity Sixth Form Academy has had to close to Year 12 students but is open for Year 13 students.

It has posted: “The college building is closed to Year 12 students today due to disruption outside of the building regarding a burst water pipe.

"Year 13 lessons and exams are running as normal.”

Yorkshire Water has apologised for the disruption and says its teams have been on site overnight and today to isolate the mains and complete repairs.

Sandwich shop and deli Le Munch Bunch, on Northgate, has posted that it is open as usual.

"Our road is closed at the moment due to a burst water main. We do have water at the moment so we are open as usual. We will update if anything changes.

"We know Halifax is a nightmare at the moment with all the road works but we really do appreciate everyone making the effort coming in to town and ordering on the online apps - thank you.”

A Yorkshire Water spokesperson said: "Our teams have been working through the night to complete repairs, and we will continue this work today and hope to have supplies back to normal as soon as possible.

“To be able to complete repairs safely, a section of Market Street is closed and a one-way closure of Northgate between the junctions of Market Street and Winding Road is closed.

"We apologise for the traffic disruption this will cause, and we are working as quickly as we can to complete repairs to get water supplies and the roads back to normal and we thank customers in the area for their patience.”
