Water supply restored in Scotland after Christmas Day outage hit 5,000 customers

Customers impacted by a loss of water in parts of Scotland are now back in supply after an "operational issue" cut provisions to thousands of homes on Christmas Day.

Scottish Water confirmed that the problem at its Picketlaw Water Treatment Work in Glasgow has been fixed and have apologised to those impacted. Approximately 5,000 customers were affected in several areas in East Renfrewshire including Newton Mearns, Giffnock, Thornliebank and Clarkston.

Most households were back in supply within hours on Sunday, but some were impacted for longer due to inconsistent pressure in parts of the water network.
