We are carrying out an emergency repair on a rising sewer main in South Queensferry, Edinburgh.

A burst caused some external flooding on the road and into the gullies on Shore Road at the junction with Hopetoun Road, but this has been cleared up. We have a tanker maintaining flows at the nearby pumping station to prevent any further spills.

Our teams will be carrying out the repair under a partial road closure using temporary traffic lights. Working overnight to minimise disruption for local businesses, we expect the repair to be completed within a week by Monday 21 July 2025.

We would like to thank them everyone affected for their patience and understanding while we carry out this essential work.
