Over 100 people living in a student accommodation building in Glasgow city centre have been left without running water, flushing toilets, and showers for five days due to an issue with the plumbing.
Tenants living in £650-a-month studio apartments at Robert Owen House on Bath Street have been forced to use portaloos and fill bottles of water up at local pubs due to their water supply being switched off. Despite four separate visits by an engineer contracted by owners Xenia Estates, the issue is yet to be solved.
Problems with the water supply were first noticed on Thursday morning with residents unable to get running water from their taps. A burst pipe was then discovered in the basement of the building, causing flooding and leading to the water supply being temporarily turned off.
