Emergency repairs to a burst pipe near Ninewells Hospital in Dundee have been completed after two nights of work.
Scottish Water started the repairs on the damaged main on Tuesday night.
Those living in the DD1, DD2, PH2 and PH14 areas – including Riverside, Invergowrie, Longforgan and Inchture – were warned their supplies could be affected.
Scottish Water had hoped to finish the work by Wednesday – but the project was delayed, with contractors remaining on the scene overnight into Thursday.
‘No impact to customers’ water supply’
However the utilities firm said on Thursday morning the work is now finished.
A statement from Scottish Water said: “Work has now been completed on a burst 24” main near Ninewells Hospital, Dundee.
“Repairs were carried out through the night with no impact to customers’ water supply. We thank you for your patience and understanding during the incident.
“Due to the complex nature of the repair, including the location and access to the pipe, the repair took longer than expected.
Roadworks continue on Riverside Drive
“Our team will remain on site for a short time to carry out any residual clean-up tasks and complete the reinstatement.”
It comes after repairs lasting several days were carried out on a burst sewage pipe on Riverside Drive.
That project was completed on Wednesday morning but a road closure remains in place on the eastbound carriageway for resurfacing work.
