Scots mum 'unable to wash kids' after water shut off for more than 24 hours

Residents of a Scots block of flats were left without water for more than a day, prompting hygiene concerns.

People living in Nisbet Court, a high-rise in the Restalrig area of Edinburgh, found they had no running water at around 4pm on Saturday June 4. The issues were later compounded by a power outrage that affected the block intermittently overnight.

Fuming mum Penella Jane Scott, 29, had been unable to wash her kids over the weekend as a result of the outages. She told Edinburgh Live that her daughter came back from a colour-bomb festival on Saturday only to find she couldn't clean herself up.
