Burst pipe leaves Peterhead residents without water supply

A number of properties in Peterhead have been left without water supply following a fault in the main pipe network.

Residents were alerted about a burst pipe at the junction of West Road and Station Road this morning as overflowing water covered the streets in the town centre.

Households in the surrounding areas have since been without any access to running water, however an alternative supply is distributed to as many customers as possible.

Scottish Water engineers are currently on site to repair the damage, after identifying the cause for the interruption at around noon.

Drivers have been urged to be cautious in the area while the repairs are being carried out.

A statement from Scottish Water on their website said: “A burst water pipe has been located on West Road and our teams are now on-site preparing to carry out the repair and start to return supplies to normal.

“We are currently working to introduce alternative supplies into the network to restore and maintain water supplies for as many customer as possible whilst repairs take place.

Scottish Water are currently on site to fix the issue. Picture by Scott Baxter.

“Please be aware that you may experience no water supply or low/intermittent water pressure. You may also experience discoloured water.

“At present we expect to complete the repair in a timeframe which means we do not plan to provide bottled water at distribution locations.”

People can find the latest updates on the water supply in the Peterhead area on Scottish Water’s website.

Scottish Water reported the fault was fixed at about 9pm on Saturday, October 10.
