The scene today (Saturday) on Cookston Road

Scottish Water has posted that water supplies have now been restored to those customers affected at Portlethen. A major pipe burst near McIntosh Donald earlier this evening, flooding local roads and cutting off water to hundreds of houses.  The force of the water pushed up and burst the surface of the pavement so it will uneven until fixed.

Scottish Water says that as “supplies fully restore customers may experience some discolouration to their water, in order to clear this you should run just your cold kitchen tap at half pressure until the water stream runs clear. For any further assistance call us on 08000 778 778 and one of our experienced Customer Service Advisors will deal with your call as quickly as possible.
