“G63 – Blanefield, Killearn & surrounding area – last updated 09:20am
Following loss of supply issues, tankering is in place in both Blanefield and Killearn to maintain and restore supplies. Supplies should now be restored for customers in the Blanefield, Killearn areas. Customers in Brandairt Road may have an intermittent supply due to the tankering. We will have a squad on site today to locate and repair bursts. When supplies are fully restored customers may also experience some discolouration to their supply, this discolouration is harmless and will gradually disappear as the system returns to normal.”
