Ruaridh MacGregor, Scottish Water's corporate affairs regional manager, said: "It's important that our customers continue to enjoy clear, fresh drinking water. This essential work to improve the resilience of existing infrastructure and help reduce the chance of pipes bursting will help us achieve that.
"Some customers may experience a change in water pressure and/or discoloured water. If this happens, simply turn on the cold water tap in your kitchen and let the water flow slowly until it runs clear."
He added: "We apologise for any inconvenience caused as a result of this work and thank customers in advance for their patience and understanding."
