Cumbria flooding: South Lakeland properties without power
9:12am Friday 20th November 2009 in
Electricity and water engineers are continuing to work across flood hit areas of Cumbria.
United Utilities staff are providing support to the Environment Agency, police and local authorities.
Twenty five customers at Burrow Bridge, near Windermere, and 27 at Tatham are without electricity because of overhead power line damage.
"The flood waters have caused power loss to a number of properties, due to submerged electricity substations or damaged overhead lines," said a United Utilities spokesman.
"Our engineers are working hard to restore supply in these areas, where we can gain physical access."
