Water supply turned off for tram works
THE water supply to 200 homes and businesses is to be cut off for up to five hours on Sunday as part of the latest phase of work on the tram project.
Information leaflets have been sent out to all the affected properties informing them that their water supply will be cut off sometime between 8am and 8pm on Sunday, 2 August.
A spokesman for tram firm TIE said: "I can confirm that work planned for Bernard Street in Leith will require the water supply to be closed on Sunday, 2 August for a maximum of four to five hours.
"We have taken into consideration the impact on the majority of businesses and local residents and made sure that this essential work is undertaken at a time when it involves the least possible impact.
"As we finalise the utility diversion work and replace the ageing utility infrastructure along the tram route, closures of this kind will be necessary."
Lia Crolla, a partner in Moda Hairdressing on Bernard Street, said the work would cause them problems.
