Operatives are currently on-site to repair the burst and hope to restore normal supplies as quickly as possible.
However, Scottish Water has said they do not expect the repair to be complete until around 1pm.
Local SNP MSP for Maryhill & Springburn Bob Doris has highlighted the issue, and asked for clarity from Scottish Water over the anticipated timeline.
