GALLONS of water were sent gushing out of a burst pipe in Tullibody this afternoon.

The main pipe started spraying onto the street after damage was caused by a “third party contractor”.

Scottish Water engineers are on site and are currently conducting the necessary repairs.

The incident, which took place at the new builds near the Dumyat Business Park, was caught on video by locals sometime around noon.
