A burst pipe in Bearsden has resulted in those living nearby being left without water.

Scottish Water confirmed it is carrying out work on Seafield Avenue after torrential rain caused the pipe to give way. The company confirmed that bottled water is being handed out to those who need it whilst repairs are being carried out.

Workers are on the scene and have dug a big hole to access the faulty area. It is believed numerous other supply lines, such as electric and gas, are located in the same area therefore repairs need to be carried out carefully.

Scottish Water stated: "Customers in Bearsden may be experiencing an interruption to water supplies due to a burst water pipe on Seafield Avenue.

"We have arranged for our teams to commence with repairs this morning and restore normal supplies for customers as soon as possible.

"Bottled water has been delivered to affected customers to provide alternative supplies whilst repairs take place.

"Please be aware that you may experience no water supply or low / intermittent water pressure. You may also experience discoloured water."
