Pressure on the water supply network in Northern Ireland is at an all-time high because of burst pipes and running taps caused by the freezing weather.
The cold snap has taken its toll on the water supply, leaving thousands of householders and businesses struggling to get by without mains water.
And there is no sign of an end in sight to the province’s ice storm as the Met Office predicted that high winds in the next few days will make it “bitterly cold”.
Northern Ireland Water said a major incident team was co-ordinating response teams across Northern Ireland to find and fix burst water mains.
