Brodick residents were left without water for more than six hours after a mains pipe burst early on Wednesday.
Scottish Water workmen received a call-out at 6.30am to deal with the incident which occurred under the road near the Brodick Hall. A mini digger was seen excavating about a metre under the soil to reach the pipe. A small section of the road had to be cordoned off while workmen did the repairs and had residents’ supply reinstated shortly after 1pm.
Brodick Castle garden and country park, who were left without water for visitors and staff, made the decision to close for the day.
