Emergency water main replacement in Rutherglen
27 June 2025
Recently there have been several water main breaks that have impacted customers near Hopetoun Road in Rutherglen.
We know how disruptive this has been for residents and sincerely apologise for the inconvenience.
While the exact cause is still being investigated, recent heavy rain following a long dry spell may have caused ground movement, leading to the bursts.
Our crews have worked swiftly and safely to restore services each time, and we’ve now begun emergency works to replace a large section of the affected water main – this is our top priority and work is expected to be finshed within two weeks.
