A BURST water main is affecting customers in a north-west Sutherland community.
Scottish Water said it is working to repair the burst main at Rhiconich, which was reported at around 2.15pm and is estimated could take up to four hours to complete.
"We are currently repairing a burst water pipe which is causing the interruption to the water supply for customers in Rhiconich," said a spokesman.
"While we carry out the repair please be aware that you may experience no water supply, low / intermittent pressure or discoloured water.
"The full repair will take an estimated four hours from now to complete.
"The water supply will gradually return to normal for customers once the repair has been completed. We expect it will take up to one hour for all customers to have normal water supply restored.
"At present we expect to complete the repair in a timeframe which means we do not plan to provide bottled at distribution locations.
