A BURST mains pipe has left a village without water since 6.30am.
Residents of Caton woke up this morning to discover nothing was coming out of their taps due to a faulty pressure valve.
But as soon as engineers fixed that problem they were confronted with another one as a mains water pipe burst in a field near Brookhouse Road.
United Utilities are handling the fault and hope to have fixed it by later this afternoon.
