Scottish Water repair of burst main, affecting some IV2 properties in the Croy area of the Highlands, is expected to take several hours
A burst water main which has impacted supplies to some homes in the IV2 postcode area will take several hours to repair, customers have been warned.
People living in and around the Croy area reported issues with their supplies on Saturday morning before 9am.
The burst comes less than two weeks after another outage in the same general area, when a 15in ‘strategic main’ ruptured in Croy. It is not know if they are related.
Scottish Water engineers were on the scene of the latest burst at the time of writing at 10.20am, and the utilities company has estimated that repairs could take until around 3pm to complete.
In a statement, they said: “We are currently repairing a burst water pipe which is causing the interruption to the water supply for customers in Croy IV2.
“The estimated completion time for the repair is 3pm. 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.
