Water dispute shuts off supply to 2,500 customers in the North

In the North, over 2,500 properties are without water this afternoon because of a dispute at Northern Ireland Water.

Industrial action over pension disputes is continuing at the company, meaning normal out-of-hours repairs are not being carried out.

The disruption is across counties Fermanagh, Tyrone and Derry.

Last weekend, about 10,000 customers in Fermanagh and Tyrone were left without water after a pump at a treatment plant in Enniskillen broke down.
