Two schools have been closed as a burst water pipe has left large parts of a Scots town without water. Part of Kirkcudbright Golf Club in Dumfries and Galloway has also been left flooded by the burst. Scottish Water is currently on site trying to fix the problem and hopes to have it resolved by early afternoon. Residents in Kirkcudbright started reporting no water or low water pressure on Thursday morning. It soon emerged the problem was with a burst pipe on part of Kirkcudbright Golf Club. The club reported: “Major pipe burst beside 17th tee and 18th green. Scottish Water are on site. “17th and 18th will be out of play until the issue is resolved.” As a result of the burst, both Kirkcudbright primary and Kirkcudbright Academy are closed today. A statement on the Kirkcudbright Primary Facebook page read: "Kirkcudbright Primary School and Kirkcudbright Academy are closed today due to no water supply. “We hope to reopen tomorrow and will be in touch later today.” Kirkcudbright Swimming Pool was also briefly closed but, with water restored to some parts of the town, it was soon able to re-open.

It states: “We are currently repairing a burst water pipe which is causing the interruption to the water supply for customers in Kirkcudbright. “The estimated completion time for the repair is 13:45hrs. We expect to complete the repair in a timeframe which means we do not plan to provide bottled water. “The water supply will gradually return to normal for customers once the repair has been completed.” The burst pipe is the second drama to hit Kirkcudbright in the past week. On Friday, Dumfries and Galloway Council closed the town bridge with an hour's notice due to safety concerns.
