Water off in east end of Glasgow as burst main affects 29,000 homes

Around 29,000 customers in and around Parkhead are currently experiencing loss of supply or lower than normal water pressure following a burst on a large water main in the east end.

The main is close to the junction of Gallowgate, Abercromby Street and Bellgrove Street.

Engineers from Scottish Water are on site, working to restore water supplies to customers served by a section of the water network on the east end of Glasgow.

The team on site is currently working to isolate the damaged section of water main and re-route water through unaffected parts of the city’s water network, in order to restore normal service as quickly as possible.

Work will then begin to excavate and repair the damaged section of main. Bellgrove Street has been closed to traffic to allow work to take place safely.

A spokesperson for Scottish Water said: “We would like to apologise to customers who have experienced disruption to their water supply this evening as a result of this burst.

“Our team is working hard to restore normal service to affected customers via the water network as quickly as possible.

"The affected section of Gallowgate; and Abercromby Street from Gallowgate to London Road will be re-opened as soon as possible, once gritting has taken place."

Regular updates will be provided via Scottish Water’s website at www.scottishwater.co.uk, as well as via Facebook and Twitter.
