HUNDREDS of homes in the East Renfrewshire area were without water on Christmas Day due to an “operational issue”.
Around 5000 properties are thought to have been affected.
Engineers worked overnight to restore supplies but said some may have to wait longer for usual levels.
Scottish Water said the G76, G77 and G46 postcode areas would experience “intermittent” delays to their supply while repairs continued at the Picketlaw Water Treatment Centre on Boxing Day.
Area such as Newton Mearns, Giffnock, Thornliebank and Clarkston areas were still facing disruption on Monday afternoon.
Bottled water was made available at several collection points, including Williamwood High School in Clarkston and St Clare’s Primary School in Newton Mearns.
A Scottish Water spokesperson said: “We sincerely apologise to those customers who have been impacted by this issue and we thank you for your patience and understanding.
“Our teams will continue to work until this is fully resolved.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
