Scottish Water reassure after discoloured water in Sauchie

Complaints surfaced on social media, with some local residents saying they were experiencing "brown water" last night and into this morning.

While the authority said they were aware of the issue, they assured that the discolouration is merely "harmless sediment", which is a temporary issue.

A spokesperson for Scottish Water said: “We received three reports of discoloured water in Sauchie, Clackmannanshire, last night.

"This followed planned pressure management work on the network, which was completed yesterday afternoon.

"These kinds of adjustments can occasionally disturb harmless sediment in the pipes, leading to temporary discolouration. There was no loss of water supply.”
