Water supplies being restored after burst main fixed in Glenrothes

Normal water supplies are starting to be restored after a burst water main was repaired in Glenrothes.

Some properties in parts of Glenrothes, Markinch and Coaltown of Wemyss were affected by a loss of normal water supply, low water pressure or discoloured water following the burst that happened earlier today.

The burst was linked to ongoing work in the area this week, but further work is expected in the area in the coming weeks.

Scottish Water says it is very sorry for the inconvenience to affected customers and thanked them for their patience and understanding.

Part of a statement from the organisation said: "When normal water supplies were restored might have depended on the location of affected properties on our network.

"Customers may also experience cloudy water as it is restored, which can happen after a burst and disruption.

"Affected customers should run the cold water tap in their kitchen gently until the water runs clear.

"There will be a need to do further work in the area in the coming weeks.

"When this work is planned we will notify customers and stakeholders in advance of any likely impact to water supply and apply every effort to minimise disruption."
