Footage and images of a burst water pipe in the Anniesland area of Glasgow has revealed the extent of the flooding.
Residents in multiple areas of the city have been left without water or disrupted supplies, with Scottish Water confirming the incident and stating that engineers are working to fix the issue.
The issue has been traced back to a burst 36 inch trunk water main on Crow Road in Anniesland, with footage showing widespread flooding in the area.

Areas affected by the incident include the west end, Partick, Anniesland and Govan - the G1, G2, G3, G4, G12, G13, G20, G51 areas of Glasgow - and G62 in Milngavie.
Scottish Water confirmed the issue is being sorted and said homes will begin to see their water supply improve.
A spokesperson said: “Normal water supplies are being restored to customers who were affected by a burst water main in parts of Glasgow earlier this morning.
"Scottish Water engineers have quickly installed a backfeed and re-zoned the network to start the restoration of normal supplies following the burst.
"Customers should now be back in supply and any who are not should be soon. Properties in parts of the centre, west and south west of Glasgow were affected following the burst on a 36 inch trunk water main in Crow Road, Anniesland, near its junction with Fulton Street, which also caused some localised flooding.
"The burst caused some low water pressure or loss of normal water supply to properties in areas such as the city centre, West End, Partick, Anniesland and Govan.
"Customers who were affected might experience discoloured water when supplies are restored. This is normal after such an incident. Our factsheet on discoloured water provides information on how to resolve this type of issue.
"If affected properties experience brown water, we advise customers to allow their cold-water kitchen tap to run at a reduced pressure until this runs clear.
"We advise that they do not run any other taps or use any water appliances while doing so, and that they follow the same process with any other taps affected once the water is clear from the cold-water kitchen tap.
"If affected customers experience white water, this is air trapped in the supply and will clear within 24 to 48 hours.
"We apologise for any inconvenience and thank affected customers for their patience and understanding.
