A burst water main which left more than 400 properties without water has destroyed a garden wall, almost flooding a villager s home. On Friday evening one of the main pipelines on Whalley Road burst, flooding Jackie Goodlad s Chapel Rise garden and destroying her garden wall, in yet another incident in what is becoming a long and drawn out saga between United Utilities and residents of Billington in the Ribble Valley, For months now, people living in the village have been plagued by high water pressure issues, leaking pipes and burst water mains. The problems have been so disruptive that even the local MP, Nigel Evans has waded in on the issue, which United Utilities insist they are trying to fix.
