A BURST pipe is the cause of taps running dry in Clitheroe.

Residents reported low pressure or no water at all earlier today, and engineers from United Utilities are now working to repair the burst.

A spokesman for the firm said: "A leak on Pendleton Road affecting customers in BB7 has been spotted and reported to us.

"Our inspector has been to have a look and found this to be the cause for some residents having no water or just a trickle.

"A team of engineers are on the way. They will be on site as soon as possible to complete the repairs and restore supplies."
