An emergency road closure in Alloa will commence next week while sewer repair works are carried out.
Scottish Water said they'll need to dig up Gaberston Avenue.
This follows earlier investigations which identified damage to a sewer pipe beneath the road.
The damaged section of sewer is located approximately 4.6 metres below the ground and requires urgent repairs to help maintain the long-term performance of the local wastewater network.
To allow the work to be carried out safely, a road closure will be put in place on Gaberston Avenue from Wednesday, July 29.
The company said it was too early to confirm how long the road closure will remain in place.
Access for residents will be maintained where possible, although some driveways may be temporarily restricted during the works.
A Scottish Water spokesperson said: "These emergency repairs are essential to maintain the local sewer network and ensure it continues to operate effectively.
"We appreciate that the road closure will cause some disruption to local residents and we will work with those affected to help minimise inconvenience where possible.
“We would like to thank the local community for their patience and understanding while this work is carried out as safely and quickly as possible."
