A burst pipe has caused chaos at a Glasgow development site today with a major clean-up operation now underway.
We previously reported that homes across the city had woken up to no water supply as reports of flooding in Anniesland began to pour in.
The source of the problem was later discovered to be a burst 36-inch trunk water main on Crow Road, at a site which has been earmarked for 46 new flats after the demolition of the former Canal Bar and Restaurant.
We have carried out alterations on the water network to restore water supplies for customers in the centre, west and south west of #Glasgow affected by a burst 36 inch water main on Crow Road. Customers may experience discoloured water as supplies restore. https://t.co/EwpIFNDri0 pic.twitter.com/YLOJ8sQu4d

While Scottish Water says supply issues have been now resolved, our Glasgow Times photographer, Colin Mearns, made his way to the scene to capture these 12 shocking photos that show the aftermath of the incident.
