RESIDENTS of a Bradford apartment block have been left without water over much of the weekend.

The water supply stopped on Saturday and remained off yesterday in part of Velvet Mill at the Lister Mills complex.

A spokesman for management company RMG said around half of the block was affected and that residents had been supplied with bottled water.

She said they didn’t know when the problem would be fixed and the water turned back on.

She said: “There is an issue with the pipe. We are trying to get a contractor to supply the part that needs to be replaced but we can’t find a contractor.”

But one resident, Yoonis Data, said: “I would have thought in this day and age, things would be open on Sundays and Bank Holidays. So many people are affected, you would have thought they would be able to get hold of a part to repair a pipe.”

He said he had not yet received any bottled water.
