Thousands of people have been left without water after a mains pipe burst in East Dunbartonshire.

The trunk main in Bearsden ruptured on Tuesday afternoon, leaving homes and business in the area without running water and flooding nearby streets.

Properties in Glasgow, Bearsden and Milngavie have all been affected, according to Scottish Water.

A spokesman said properties in Partick, Partickhill, Broomhill, Kelvingrove, Kelvindale, Kelvinside, Hyndland, Hillhead, Maryhill, Ruchill, Gilsochill, North Kelvin, Acre, Summerston, Cadder, Bearsden and Milngavie are all experiencing a loss of normal water supply, low water pressure or discoloured water.

The burst pipe has been isolated and repairs are currently taking place.

The spokesman said: "Scottish Water is starting to restore normal water supplies to customers in parts of the North and North West of Glasgow, Bearsden and Milngavie affected by the burst on a 36 inch trunk main in Bearsden earlier today.

"Engineers are moving water around the network to rebuild pressure in the main and bring normal supplies back to affected properties as quickly as possible.

"It may take a number of hours for all customers to have their supplies fully restored due to the size of the network. Scottish Water staff are on-site continuing to help a number of householders who have been affected by flooding near to the burst, working with the local council and other agencies.

"We apologise to all affected customers for the inconvenience caused and would like to reassure everyone that we are doing everything possible to get things back to normal and minimise further disruption."
