The cause of an interruption to the water supply in Johnstone has been identified.

Scottish Water are currently arranging a repair to return supplies to normal for customers in the PA5 postcode.

In their latest update on the situation, the water provider said: "We will have temporary network alterations that will remain in place to keep majority of customers in supply during the ongoing works, until we have completed the repair and returned the network back to normal."

Whilst the repair is being carried out, customers may experience low/intermittent pressure, no water and/or discoloured water.

Those experiencing brown water are advised to allow the cold-water kitchen tap to run at a reduced pressure until this runs clear.

"Do not run any other taps or use any water appliances whilst doing so and follow the same process with any other taps affected once the water is clear from your cold-water kitchen tap," the update added.

"If you experience white water, this is air trapped in the supply and will clear within 24 to 48 hours."
