Scottish Water is responding to a burst water pipe in Dollar which has left some residents without water.

Some residents report having no water at all, while others claim their water pressure has been significantly reduced.

Scottish Water said they were responding to the incident and were already carrying out repairs.

They did warn residents that some may notice reduced pressure or water discolouration.

A spokesperson for Scottish Water said: “Following reports of a disruption to water services in Dollar, FK14, staff are on site and have identified a burst water main and are arranging the necessary repairs. 

"We have temporary network alterations in place to keep most customers in supply during the ongoing works, although some customers may notice reduced pressure or discolouration.”
