Flooding Disrupts Operations at Greggs in North Berwick
What happened
Severe flooding affected North Berwick High Street following torrential rain that began Tuesday night and continued into Wednesday morning. Water reached depths of around eight inches in some areas, and a faulty hydrant outside Greggs at 56 High Street was seen spilling water onto the road. Scottish Water attended the scene to address the issue, during which time the bakery temporarily closed. Greggs has since reopened.
Why it matters
The incident highlights the shared vulnerability of businesses to local infrastructure failures, specifically concerning underground water mains. While the cause of the hydrant failure is unknown, the event required operational responses from the affected businesses.
