Residents living in the west of Glenrothes have little or no water due to a burst pipe in the area.

A burst pipe left residents in Glenrothes without water on Tuesday.

People living in the west of the Fife town were affected, waking up to little or no water.

Technicians completed repairs to a burst mains on Elgin Drive about 7pm on Tuesday, but Scottish Water said that it could take “up to one hour” for customers to have their water supply restored.

It will update customers online as the network recovers.

An update on its website reads: “Repairs to a burst water pipe which caused the interruption to water supplies for customers in Glenrothes have been completed.

“We estimate it will take up to one hour for all customers to have their water supply restored.

“The water supply will gradually come in to service for customers during this period.”

Traffic management in place

The company added that traffic management remains in place as the road surface is restored and recommended that drivers consider an alternative route to avoid potential delays.

It did not give an estimated time of completion.

Loss of water in Glenrothes

Scottish Water warned customers to expect loss of water, low or intermittent water pressure and the possibility of discoloured water while the supply is being restored.

Anyone in need of additional support due to the incident, including those with medical conditions, can register as a priority customer on the Scottish Water website.
