Parts of Edinburgh are without water again this morning. Are you? Do let us know what problems you are experiencing. Some people say it is an intermittent problem with pressure coming and going.

Schools and the Royal Commonwealth Pool were affected during last week.

Scottish Water appear to be on the case but this is what they said at 11.25:

EH1, EH2, EH3, EH6, EH7, EH8, EH9, EH15, EH16, EH17

We have had reports of loss of water supply, low pressure and discoloured water which is as a result of repair works after burst 24″ main at Orchardhead Loan in the Liberton area on Friday.

The mains network is continuing to recover, however high demand on the network may result in low pressure or temporary loss of water supply as the network continues to regain pressure.

Customers may experience discoloured water as the pressure begins to build which can be cleared by running your cold kitchen tap at half
pressure. How quickly the water clears may depend on your location on our water network.

If you are experiencing an airlock within your water supply please contact us on 0800 0778 778 and we will arrange for this to be
investigated.
