Following a burst water main at Holy Corner this evening some people may still be without water supply. If that is you then do let us know!
There were sine fabulous photos on Twitter of a plume of water shooting high above the street there. Chris Highcock first alerted us to the problems…..

@EdinReporter they’ve taken out a fire hydrant. The valve is broken from what I can pick up. JCB parked over it at the moment — Chris Highcock (@chrishighcock) May 19, 2015
