Some areas of the city had no running water this morning, but this appears to have been a valve which is now repaired.
Scottish Water made this announcement a short time ago:
2nd September 2015, 09:59
EH1,3,7,8,9,16,17Supplies should be restored shortly to those customers affected in Edinburgh.
As supplies fully restore customers may experience some discolouration to their water, rest assured this is perfectly safe to use. 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. Alternatively you can follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
