There is a water outage in the Thorndale and Ballyarnett areas of Derry tonight following a burst water main along the Racecourse Road.

The water is expected to be running again later tonight.

Local Sinn Fein councillor Sandra Duffy said: "Folks we are facing another water outage tonight around Thorndale & Ballyarnett.

"I have spoken to NI Water and they have informed me that there was a burst water main along the Racecourse Road, they currently have engineers on the ground working on it.

"At this stage they are hoping to have the issue resolved by 11pm but just to caution this could run on through the night due to the scale of the burst pipes.

"If anyone needs assistance please feel free to get in contact."
