<p>Northern Ireland&#8217;s under-fire water authorities have fought off resignation calls over the crisis in water supplies.</p>
<p>Senior figures from Northern Ireland Water (NIW) emerged from a special board meeting to say their priority is to fix the leaks that have crippled the supply system.</p>
<p>They said 4,400 homes have been without water since Monday but they pledged to step up efforts to end the crisis.</p>
<p>Interim chairman Padraic White said chief executive Laurence MacKenzie had not resigned, despite growing pressure, but he said a fully independent review of the episode should take place.</p>
<p>Mr White said the immediate focus is on restoring supplies: &#8220;It is easy to create a frenzy but it is not helpful.&#8221;</p>
<p>He said 4,400 customers are currently without, down from 7,000 on Thursday.</p>
<p>He said reservoirs are gradually refilling across the province, however Belfast reservoirs remain in a &#8220;most precarious position&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8220;We expect to see a gradual improvement over the coming days,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>As part of dealing with the crisis, water supplies to 1,000 customers are being rotated.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a normal part of water management, in all jurisdictions, to put people on a rotation of supply,&#8221; Mr White said.</p>
