Higher quality water in Lower Largo
What we're doing
Scottish Water carrying out a number of improvements to the drainage system which serves Lundin Links and Lower Largo that will enhance the water quality, protect the natural environment and improve the appearance of the waterfront in Largo Bay.
By upgrading Drum Park, The Temple, Golf Road and Drummochy Road pumping stations, the quality of the waste water will be greatly increased. New pumps will increase the reliability of Drum Park and Golf Road pumping stations and new screens are being installed at each of the four pumping stations.
Amount invested
£1.6 million
Partners
Scottish Water Solutions, in conjunction with delivery partners Veolia Clancy, the investment in the area will total £1.6m and result in a modern and secure waste water management system with the towns.
Area Affected
