Repairs have now been completed to a burst water main which was causing supply issues in Auchterarder and Braco overnight.
Engineers from Scottish Water were dispatched to the area shortly after 6pm on Tuesday to fix a damaged 12-inch supply pipe at Easterton Farm.
An undisclosed number of homes in Auchterarder and Braco were without water.
Scottish Water had initially estimated the repairs to be completed by midnight. However, this was pushed back to the “early hours” of Wednesday morning.
An update from the utility company at 8.30am on Wednesday said: “Repairs are now complete to a burst 12-inch water main at Easterton Farm, which was causing no water, low pressure or intermittent water supplies to customers in the PH3, PH4 Auchterarder and FK15 Braco area.
“The water supply will gradually come into service for customers during this period.”
Possible discolouration to water supplies in Auchterarder and Braco
Scottish Water is advising of possible discolouration to water that could continue for up to 48 hours.
The update added: “Once we have restored your supply some customers may experience discoloured water.
“If you experience brown water, we advise to allow your cold-water kitchen tap to run at a reduced pressure until this runs clear.
“Do not run any other taps or use any water appliances whilst doing so.
“Follow the same process with any other taps affected once the water is clear from your cold-water kitchen tap.
“If you experience white cloudy water, this is air trapped in the supply and will clear within 24 to 48 hours.”
