Scottish Water has provided an update after 100,000 properties were affected by a burst pipe.
We previously reported that a main pipe burst at the junction of Auchenhowie Road and Glasgow Road on Tuesday afternoon, causing water supply issues in several Glasgow areas.
Around 250,000 customers in Glasgow city centre, Knightswood, Yoker, Scotstoun, Partick, Kelvinside, Tradeston and Ibrox had been impacted by the burst on a 36-inch major water main at Auchenhowie Road in Milngavie.

Scottish Water has since confirmed that the water supply had been restored.
A spokeswoman said: “Supply has been restored to all customers impacted by this major burst.
"A small number of customers may still be experiencing no water or low pressure whilst the system continues to recharge and recover, which we expect to be completed during the early hours of the morning.
"This was a major burst which impacted a large number of people in and around Glasgow, we thank everyone for their patience while our teams worked hard to restore supply as quickly as possible.”
The firm then tweeted at around 7am this morning that customers in the G3 area may still be experiencing issues.
Apologies to customers in #G3 #Glasgow still experiencing interruption to normal supply following a burst strategic water main. Please be assured that we're investigating the cause & will update you when we can.

While the issue has been fixed, customers may still experience low/intermittent water pressure or discoloured water.
If water is brown discoloured this is the natural lying sediment within the mains that has been disturbed and customers are advised to allow their cold water kitchen tap to run at reduced pressure until this runs clear.
