WORK is progressing to restore water supplies affected by the burst main, Scottish Water has said.

Properties in areas including Port Dundas, Cowcaddens, Firhill, Sighthill and Maryhill areas are experiencing a loss of normal water supply, low water pressure or discoloured water following the incident this morning.

Scottish Water said supplies had been restored to a "significant" number of properties.

The burst occurred on a 36 inch main in Garscube Road, Cowcaddens.

Scottish Water began receiving calls at around 6.20am and said engineers were on site at around 6.45am.

Customers in the affected areas may experience fluctuations in water pressure until the repair is completed, it said.

A spokeswoman for Scottish Water sadi: "We are currently focussing on restoring supplies and have managed to significantly reduce the number of properties affected by re-zoning our network and bringing in water from adjacent parts of our system.

"We apologise to all affected customers for the inconvenience and can assure them we are doing everything possible to restore normal supplies as quickly as we can.

"Some properties will have their normal supplies restored earlier than others, depending on their location on our network.

"When normal supplies are restored, affected customers might experience discoloured water as the system re-charges.

"If so, we would advise customers to run the cold water tap in their kitchen gently until the water starts to run clear."
