Dunfermline residents face loss of water as a burst water main is being repaired in the Cairneyhill area.

The main is located just off the Cairneyhill roundabout, and serves around 1275 properties.

Some households may experience a loss of normal supply, low water pressure, or discoloured water as a result.

A statement made by Scottish Water said: “We apologise for the inconvenience this incident may cause and thank all customers for their patience as we work to carry out the repairs and resume normal supply arrangements.

“If you experience brown water, we advise to allow your cold-water kitchen tap to run at a reduced pressure until this runs clear.

“Do not run any other taps or use any water appliances whilst doing so and follow the same process with any other taps affected once the water is clear from your cold-water kitchen tap.”
