Burst water main
There is a burst water main in the Ardlui Gardens area. There is now loss of water in the area. This has been reported to Scottish Water and they hope to get out today to this. You can report any difficulty on 0800 731 0840 and we would urge any householders affected to report this.
Many residents will be aware that there has been a long term problem with the water main in this area and the Association have today been contacted by a Gemma Middlemass who has assured us that Scottish Water will contact the Association regarding what they propose long term to resolve this recurring problem, particularly with new houses being built in the area and bearing in mind that Scottish Water were working in the Hunter Road area the other day.
We will try to advise of any update on the situation as and when we receive any further information.
