A BURST water main is posing supply problems for households across a swathe of the Black Isle tonight.
Scottish Water has confirmed it is currently carrying out repairs which are causing disruption to supply in a number of areas on the peninsula.
This includes customers in Muir of Ord, Avoch, Munlochy and Fortrose.
The full repair will take an estimated eight hours from now to complete, the supplier said in a post tonight.
It said: “The water supply will gradually return to normal for customers once the repair has been completed.
“We expect it will take up to two hours for all customers to have normal water supply restored.
”While we carry out the repair please be aware that you may experience no water supply, low / intermittent pressure or discoloured water.
”At present we expect to complete the repair in a timeframe which means we do not plan to provide bottled at distribution locations.”
