Water quality to improve in Scotland from £1.3m upgrade
Mar 18 2011
A major upgrade in Scotland is set to improve water quality throughout the country.
It has been revealed by Scottish Water that the company is to invest £1.3 million in a development at Bothwellbank wastewater treatment works.
Gavin Noble, construction manager for Scottish Water Solutions, stated that the project is being conducted so as little disruption as possible to local residents occurs.
He said: "The new filters and treatment equipment will ensure a higher quality of final effluent from the works, enhancing and protecting the water quality in the Cander and Avon Waters."
Mr Noble added that upgrades to waste water facilities across the South Lanarkshire region totalling £11.7 million are on top of the added £1.3 million spending.
This comes shortly after Scottish Water revealed that its project to improve the reliability of the local supply in the Ullapool area is going well, with the work expected to be completed by the end of April 2011.
