Talks resume today to resolve dispute after hundreds left without water in Co Derry

Talks aimed at resolving the dispute between Northern Ireland Water and its staff which has left a number of homes in Co Derry without water are to resume today.

Households and properties in Claudy, Dungiven, Feeny, Gortnahey and  Park are among 1,300 properties across the North left without water - some with no supply for a week.

Those in Derry city had been advised to "fill pots" in case of possible outages.

NI Water says it hopes to have supply to restored by this afternoon.

Staff are involved in a "work to rule"in a row over pensions.

As a result, staff are refusing overtime and to attend "call outs."
