Burst water pipe repairs under way in Inverness neighbourhood

Engineers were working to restore water to parts of an Inverness neighbourhood after a burst pipe on Monday morning.

In an update via its social media channels, Scottish Water confirmed that engineers were on site and working on repairs shortly after 8am.

A Scottish Water spokesperson said: "We are currently repairing a burst water pipe which is causing the interruption to the water supply for customers in Smithton."

"We expect to complete the repair in a timeframe which means we do not plan to provide bottled water.

"The water supply will gradually return to normal for customers once the repair has been completed."
