As we come into the colder months of the year, and with some wintry weather in the forecast this week for parts of the north, Scottish Water is encouraging customers in communities across Scotland to prepare their homes for winter.

Their winter campaign advises anyone with a home, holiday home or business premises to take action to heat, insulate and protect their properties.

Customers can visit www.scottishwater.co.uk/winter where they can find winter information, films and advice.

You can also find further information online about your pipework responsibilities by visiting www.scottishwater.co.uk/responsibility.

To stay up-to-date, follow them on twitter @scottish_water or on facebook facebook.com/scottishwater.
