WATER supplies have been off throughout South Ayrshire this morning after a water main burst. 

Engineers have been in Ayr since before 6am trying to sort the problem with Scottish Water customers in KA7, KA8 and KA9 affected by the outage. 

Scottish Water say they are carrying out 'valve adjustments' and apologise for the inconvenience caused by the issues.
