Some Inverurie homes were left struggling with no or low water supply after a water pipe burst on North Street.
Scottish Water has carried out a full repair of the faulty pipe and services are returning to normal.
The company warned customers may still experience low or intermittent pressure or discoloured water.
Scottish Water first identified the issue at around midnight on Wednesday, saying on its Facebook page that technicians were on their way to fix it.
A back-feed was then put in place to help restore supply.
Scottish Water said: “Water supplies in Inverurie which were affected by a burst water pipe are now returning to normal. We thank you for your patience and understanding during the incident.
“We have carried out a full repair of the fault and are now returning to normal service.
“Water supply is being restored but you may experience low or intermittent pressure issues, which could be due to an airlock in the pipes. Our unplanned interruption to your water supply factsheet will help you to resolve this issue.
“You might also experience discoloured water. This is normal after such an incident. Our factsheet on discoloured water provides information on how to resolve this type of issue.”
