A Victorian-era pipe burst on Auchenhowie Road at around 4pm on January 24, causing severe flooding in the area. The incident knocked out water supplies across much of the city, meaning many hospitality businesses had to close their doors.
Scottish Water has confirmed that excavation work began today to repair the 36inch pipe, that was laid in 1859 as part of the original Katrine Aqueduct. The work could take up to 14 days to complete due to the extent of the damage.
