East Linton residents have been given advice by Scottish Water
RESIDENTS of an East Lothian village have been complaining of discoloured water.
Scottish Water has confirmed it is investigating the water supply in East Linton.
Today, a number of East Linton residents have had brown water coming out of their taps.
A Scottish Water spokesperson said: “Scottish Water is investigating a report of discoloured water in East Linton.
"Discoloured water can happen for a number of reasons, including a burst on the network, roadworks causing vibrations, or licensed organisations using water from the network.
"We advise customers that have discoloured water to let their cold water tap run at half pressure until the water runs clear.”
