Many parts of the country are facing supply issues with works ongoing to fix them as soon as possible, according to Scottish Water.
The water firm's live map shows that some 15 areas have been facing issues with supplies. Work is ongoing with water restored in some areas, while investigations are still being carried out in others.
The experts have said that freezing caused by last week's cold snap has led to many burst pipes. They explain that the "subzero freeze" has turned into a "rapid thaw."
Scottish Water say that broken and leaking pipes have contributed to an additional demand of more than 100 million litres of water on the network. The supplier adds that there has been a 100-150 percent increase in the number of confirmed bursts.
However the actual number could be much higher, they say. Teams across Scotland have been mobilised to respond to incidents.
Here is their progress so far according to the Scottish Water live map.

Kevin Roy, Customer Service General Manager, said: "The weather conditions this week have caused a significant impact on our supply network across the country.
"On top of the usual daily distribution of water and demand from customers, we’ve seen an additional 100 million litres a day flowing through the network and unfortunately that’s the result of leaks and bursts. The deep freeze has developed into a quick thaw with temperatures on the increase leaving some pipes cracked."
He adds: "We’re doing all we can to manage the situation as effectively as possible and trying to reduce disruption for customers. Our response is likely to extend well into next week as we approach the Christmas weekend."
