Tanks of water shipped to Shetland up to 5 times a week
Scottish Water is having to ship tanks of water to Skerries, Shetland, after a prolonged period of minimal rainfall has left a reservoir and storage tank levels low. According to Shetland News, Scottish Water is having to send boats with treated water from Whalsay to the area up to five times a week to maintain a supply for residents on the island. The firm said it would continue to ship water to the island for the 'foreseeable future,' adding that it would help meet the demands of the people in Skerries while allowing the reservoir and storage levels to recover. READ MORE: Man arrested as easyJet plane met by police at Scottish airport 'We will continue to monitor the situation and support the community,' Scottish Water said. 'At this time, there are no other water supplies in Shetland on our risk register.' The water shortage comes after more than 10,000 islanders have been left without internet and phone access due to a major outage. Scots living in [[Shetland]] and Orkney, along with people in the Faroe Islands, have been facing disruption to their broadband services due to a damaged subsea cable since Saturday morning. According to reports, residents on the islands are still facing an outage after Openreach confirmed that some of its customers were impacted after a subsea cable from Orkney to Banff was damaged. It has been reported that the Shefa-2 cable, which is part of the cables owned by Faroese Telecom, has been affected and that engineers are working on the issue. Anyone who is experiencing any issues have been urged to report them to their service provider for further investigation. It has been reported that 999 calls are not impacted. An Openreach spokesperson said: 'We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience, the damage to a subsea cable from Orkney to Banff, has caused from Saturday morning. 'Customers can still make landline calls, and whilst we're constantly assessing customer impact, we believe up to 10,000 customers in Faroe, Shetland, and Orkney islands could have disruption to their broadband services. 'We're working on repairs as soon as we can and will update further once we can confirm our specific work and timeline. Anyone experiencing any issues should report it to their service provider for further investigation as usual.'

Water Safety Scotland is hosting the fourth World Drowning Prevention Day event Residents from across West Lothian are being encouraged to pack their swimwear and take the high road to Loch Lomond to enjoy a host of free water activities and demonstrations this Friday. Water Safety Scotland is hosting the fourth World Drowning Prevention Day event at Loch Lomond Shores, Balloch on July 25. The annual water safety event is supported by Scottish Water, RoSPA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents), Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, The Darcey Sunshine Foundation, Police Scotland, West Dunbartonshire Council, Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park, and SSE Renewables. The free, fun-filled, family friendly day is open to all and aims to raise awareness of water safety and drowning prevention across Scotland with a broad range of interactive and educational activities, including swimming safely outdoors. The fourth annual event comes as new figures show there were 33 accidental drownings in Scotland in 2024, with Water Safety Scotland warning that continued vigilance is essential. Attendees will have the opportunity to: Learn life-saving tips through the Water Safety Code Watch live rescue demonstrations by SFRS and the Scottish Newfoundland Club rescue dogs Try out paddleboarding and canoeing taster sessions with Paddle Scotland and CAG Adventures Visit a range of interactive safety and information stands Carlene McAvoy, Founder of Water Safety Scotland, said: 'Every life lost to drowning is one too many. Events like World Drowning Prevention Day are vital in spreading awareness and equipping people with the knowledge they need to stay safe around water. Our focus remains on promoting the Water Safety Code in a fun, engaging, and educational way.' Scotland's Community Safety Minister, Siobhian Brown MSP, said: 'With the warmer summer weather I understand the appeal of our seas, lochs and rivers which is why water safety is vital and events like Water Safety Scotland's Water Safety Open Day are an important way of raising awareness of the dangers of our waterways, how to enjoy them safely and what to do in an emergency. 'Our Water Safety Action Plan includes a range of key steps agreed with partners, to further mitigate risks including better signage, lesson plans for pupils and improved training. I encourage everyone to know and follow the Water Safety Code: Stop and Think, Spot the Dangers, Stay Together, Stay Close and call 999 in an emergency. 'My thoughts are also with the families and friends of those affected by the recent water-related tragedies.' Peter Farrer, Chief Operating Officer at Scottish Water, added: 'We cannot over-emphasise the importance of water safety all year round, but it's particularly relevant during the summer months when people are often more likely to be around water. 'We're delighted to be involved in this event again this year, it provides a valuable opportunity for us to have water-safety conversations with people to build the vital knowledge and skills to help people stay safer in, on and around water.' 'With Scotland's abundance of coastlines, lochs, rivers and reservoirs, it's absolutely vital that everyone has the opportunity to learn basic water safety skills.' The event will run from 11am to 4pm and is open to all ages with families, school kids and community groups especially encouraged to attend.
