An estimated 12,000 Scots properties have been affected by a burst water main near a primary school.
Scottish Water is working hard to restore normal supplies to customers in the Inverclyde towns of Greenock, Wemyss Bay, and Gourock, and Skelmorlie in North Ayrshire, after a burst on a strategic 18in water main this afternoon, Wednesday, January 10, near Whinhill Primary School in Greenock.
Punters in the PA15 and PA16 postcode areas in Greenock can expect to face low water pressure or a loss of their normal water supply.
Customers in PA17 in Skelmorlie, PA18 in Wemyss Bay and PA19 in Gourock are facing similar issues while Scottish Water works to address the burst.
A spokesperson for Scottish Water said: “We estimate that about 12,000 properties across these areas are affected by the disruption to normal supply.
“Our operatives are now working to isolate the damaged section of water main, and we are arranging our repairs teams to attend to start repair work as soon as possible.
“We will work to restore normal supplies to affected customers as quickly as possible.
“We apologise for the inconvenience and thank them for their patience and understanding.”
While the issue reminas ongoing affected residents who may need additional support can sign up as a priority services customer on Scottish Water’s website.
