Repair underway after water streamed onto busy Halifax road

Yorkshire Water first attended the leak on Aachen Way on Tuesday (February 24), but were unable to shut the water off to complete a repair.

Since then, a large amount of water has streamed into the road.

Yorkshire Water said it has now isolated the main and is working as quickly as possible to complete the work.

A Yorkshire Water spokesperson said: “We first attended the leak on Aachen Way on Tuesday 24 February, but were unable to shut the water off to be able to complete a repair.

“Since then, the leak worsened, but our teams have been working overnight and have now been able to isolate the main – the repair is underway.

“We’ll be working as quickly as we can to complete the work and return things to normal.”
