Water returns to some properties in Ripon
Water has returned to some homes in Ripon following a burst pipe on North Road this morning.
Many properties in the city have had no water or low water pressure all morning.
Some companies in Ripon were forced to close, including the coffee shop at Larkhill Nurseries and the Water Rat pub. The latter has now reopened.
The problem has also affected people in nearby villages Sharow and Littlethorpe, as well as further afield in Thirsk.
Residents on Lead Lane in Ripon told the Stray Ferret at about midday that water had come back on, as have residents living in Deep Ghyll Croft and Saint Marygate. However, one person living in Sharow says water is still off as of midday.
Yorkshire Water has been slow to tell the public when normal water supply will resume.
North Road will soon be closed to traffic whilst repairs take place.
A spokesperson issued the following statement.
