Thousands of Glasgow homes have been left without water due to a major pipe bursting. Scottish Water have confirmed that technicians are on site investigating a major disruption in the Anniesland area on Friday morning.
Those with G1, G2, G3, G4, G12, G13, G20, G51 area postcodes in Glasgow and G62 in Milngavie are affected. Motorists have also been warned to expect delays amid reports the incident has caused severe flooding and surface water on Crow Road.
A Traffcom update read: "Following an additional water burst, Bearsden Road has been reduced to one lane on its approach to Anniesland Cross. Road users are advised to approach the Anniesland Cross Junction with caution due to the amount of surface water in the area.
"In order to accommodate Scottish Water’s urgent water main repairs Crow Road at Great Western Road will be closed in a southbound direction for approximately 400m. Delays are to be expected."
A Scottish Water spokesperson added: "Scottish Water is advising customers in parts of the centre, west and south west of Glasgow of a burst water main which could affect normal water supplies.
"A burst on a 36 inch trunk water main has occurred in Crow Road, Anniesland, near its junction with Fulton Street, which is causing some localised flooding in the area.
"The burst could temporarily cause low water pressure or loss of normal water supply to properties in areas such as the city centre, West End, Partick, Anniesland and Govan.
"Engineers are working to restore any affected supplies by introducing a backfeed (or re-zoning the local network) and to repair the burst as quickly as possible.
"We apologise for any inconvenience and thank affected customers for their patience and understanding.
