Scottish Water personnel looking down into the hole caused by a burst water main. On 24 January 2023 a major water main, carrying water from Mugdock Reservoir to Glasgow burst at the junction of the A81 (Glasgow Road) and the A809 (Auchenhowie Road), causing major flooding in the area and affecting the supplies of around 100,000 properties in Glasgow and East Dunbartonshire. Scottish Water later said a 3ft (91cm) main had ruptured. Part of this ruptured pipe (which has been removed from the ground) can be seen on the right of the photograph behind the fence.
