A spokesperson for Welsh Water said:

“A burst water main has affected drinking water supplies this morning to customers in the Hawarden area of Deeside.

We have a team on site repairing the damaged main and we anticipate that water supplies should begin returning to normal by early this afternoon.

When the water supply is restored some customers may notice some discolouration of their tap water, this is normal in this situation and the water should clear when run from a cold tap.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused.”
