Drivers are delighting that a busy Ayr road has reopened following emergency water works.South Harbour Street has been closed for over two weeks between Fort Street and New Bridge Street to allow workers access to fix a burst sewer pipe, leaving motorists facing lengthy diversions and huge queues.A burst sewer pipe on January 26 led to the shutdown of the road, after a section of sewer pipework became dislodged at Ayr Harbour.Engineers got to work repairing the issues, with teams racing to pump out any contaminated water in a bid to minimise the environmental impact.Scottish Water chiefs feared the emergency works could last up to one month, but thankfully the road has reopened as of this morning.The pipe has now been repaired with support belts anchoring the pipe to the seabed, surrounded by fresh gravel chippings.Fears were initially raised that the contents of the pipe could pollute the water and reach the nearby shore.But following an investigation, environmental agency SEPA say they found ‘no signs of pollution.’ Anyone who spots signs of pollution is encouraged to contact SEPA via the Pollution Hotline on 0800 807060 or online at www.sepa.org.uk/report.
