Loch Ryan Latest News
16th May 2012
Work is now well underway on all fronts for the project - the pumping stations at Kirkcolm and Leswalt have been started and the sewers are being laid to take the pumped waste water from Port Rodie to the new Loch Ryan Waste Water Treatment Works at Smithy Hill.
Construction of the new works is well advanced and the various buildings, tanks and apparatus have taken shape. There is a lot of activity underway locally with traffic coming and going. The project team wants to thank local people for their understanding as the work continues.
The project team will make a couple of community announcements soon, one of which is geared towards getting local young people involved with the project.

The next stage of the Loch Ryan project involves laying a new section of sewer from the pumping station at Port Rodie to the new works at Smithy Hill near Leswalt.
In order to give local people the opportunity to view our plans, meet the team and to raise any questions or concerns they may have, Scottish Water is inviting local people to an information evening at Stranraer Library, North Strand Street, Stranraer, DG9 7LD between 3.00pm - 7.00pm on Tuesday 6th March 2012.
Stephen Hepburn, Project Manager, said: “If local people are unable to attend and have any questions or concerns they would like to discuss, please feel free to give us a call on 0845 601 8855 or you can e-mail us at lochryan@scottishwater.co.uk and we’ll be happy to help in any way we can.
“For this work we will be using the traditional open trench method which involves excavating the entire length of the sewer from ground level to the full depth required.
“In order to ensure overall safety temporary road restrictions will need to be put in place. This will include local control by temporary traffic lights, restriction of on-street parking and in some areas temporary road closures.
“Part of this work is located on Seabank Road, Sheuchan Street, Foreland Place, Leswalt High Road and Spring Bank Road.”

Work is progressing well on the Loch Ryan project, which has been designed to improve the quality of both shellfish and leisure waters and the waste water provision in Stranraer and surrounding areas.
Our construction delivery partner, Leslie MWH, has updated their programme of works.
A new section of sewer pipeline is due to be laid in Foreland Place. Work is due to take place from Thursday 12 January 2012 until mid-April 2012.
Access to private parking spaces at the rear of properties in Foreland Place will be required due to the location of the new pipeline.
A temporary road closure at the Old Creamery Park end of Foreland Place will be required towards the end of the planned works.
Scottish Water will display road notices well in advance to keep local people informed.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
