Pressure valve fault leaves Baildon without water

Published on

A water supply disruption has affected households in a town within the Bradford district.

Yorkshire Water posted notification of the incident on its website at approximately 7am on Friday.

The interruption was anticipated to continue for a duration of four to six hours in the Baildon area.

The utility provider indicated that customers could experience either a complete loss of supply or reduced flow rates.

Additionally, residents were advised that water returning to their pipes might appear turbid or discoloured temporarily.

According to the company, the underlying cause stemmed from network equipment malfunction rather than a ruptured main pipe.

A specific issue with a pressure relief valve was identified as the source of the problem.

The disruption prompted Baildon Church of England Primary School, located on Coverley Way, to close its premises.

A Yorkshire Water representative acknowledged awareness of the situation and expressed regret for the trouble experienced by those impacted.

The spokesperson stated that field teams were en route to address the fault and anticipated normal service resuming within the projected timeframe.

Customers were informed that the temporary tanker positioned at the site contained clean drinking water.

Network reconfiguration measures had been implemented to restore supplies to all connected properties as swiftly as possible.
