Water supply disrupted in Appin

Scottish Water has advised residents of Appin to expect disruption to the water supply as they repair a burst pipe.

An issue has occurred in the PA38 postcode area, with its engineers expecting to have fixed the issue by 2.15pm on Friday afternoon.

A Scottish Water update said: “We are currently repairing a burst water pipe which is causing the interruption to the water supply for customers in Appin. The full repair is estimated to be complete by 2.15pm.

“The water supply will gradually return to normal for customers once the repair has been completed. We expect it will take up to one hour for all customers to have normal water supply restored.

“While we carry out the repair please be aware that you may experience no water supply, low/intermittent pressure or discoloured water.

“At present we expect to complete the repair in a timeframe which means we do not plan to provide bottled at distribution locations.”
