Residents in Killin, a Perthshire village, were warned not to drink tap water on Friday after a diesel spill into the River Dochart. The Scottish Environment Protection Agency received multiple contamination reports on Thursday evening, affecting over 500 properties. Scottish Water closed the treatment works intake, and disruption could last several days, with tankers providing fresh water. People reported a solvent smell and taste.
