Thousands of homes across Glasgow were left without water because of a faulty valve.

Scottish Water investigated the cause throughout Tuesday morning and confirmed it was caused by a "fault on a valve".

Residents of eight postcode areas in Bearsden, Milngavie, north west and south of the city either had no water, low water pressure or discoloured water from 7am.

At 10.45am a spokesman for Scottish Water confirmed that the issue was resolved and that normal supplies had been restored to the affected properties.

"Any customers who experience discoloured water after the restoration of supplies should run the cold water tap in their kitchen gently until the water runs clear," he said.

"Scottish Water apologises for any inconvenience to affected customers and thanks them for their patience and understanding."
