Engineers from Northern Gas Networks have restored gas supplies to the majority of properties at St James Street, Hull, following a water ingress incident which began on Tuesday morning.

The issue was caused by water from a burst water main finding its way into the gas network.

Approximately 250 properties were affected. Engineers have removed the water from the network and restored supplies to all residential properties, while continuing to work with industrial and commercial properties today.

Cards have been posted at a small number of empty properties, asking owners to call Northern Gas Networks on their return home,  in order for their gas to be restored.

Customers who have any questions or support can still call Northern Gas Networks’ Customer Care team on  0800 040 7766 followed by option 3 or email customercare@northerngas.co.uk

Our engineers have worked through today to restore the gas supply to the St James Street area of Hull.

Water has now been removed from the gas mains and the gas supply has been restored to an initial 103 properties. We are now visiting customers’ homes to safely relight their gas boilers, starting with those who are most vulnerable. We will then work to gradually relight boilers in homes and expect this to be complete this evening. We will then move on to commercial properties.

Where customers are not at home, we will put a card through the door, asking them to call us as soon as possible to arrange a time for our engineers to visit.

We would like to say thank you to residents and business owners for their patience and co-operation.

Our engineering team is continuing to work in the Kingston Street, Wellington Street and Manor House Street area of Hull this morning. They have worked through the night to pump water from the gas pipes, after a water main  nearby burst yesterday. A large volume of water was removed from the gas mains during the night, and the priority for today is to remove the rest of this water so that repairs can begin.

NGN engineers from outside Hull are now on site, to increase our workforce capacity today.

Unfortunately, we cannot give an exact time for when reconnection to the gas supply will start, but our team is working as quickly as possible, and we apologise for any inconvenience caused to customers in Hull.

If some people find it difficult to go along and collect their food, we can bring it to the  doorstep and deliver it in a safe, socially distanced way.
