Clearer, fresher benefits for Carron Valley
What we're doing
Amount invested
£3.7m in the area Carron Valley- part of a wider £116m Vision 2010 campaign for the Forth Valley and Argyll & Bute
Almost £1m has been invested in the Carron Valley water treatment works to upgrade the facility.
£1.8m project that involves laying 6km of pipe to connect houses at Carron Valley Dam and the hamlet of Muirlands School to Carron Valley water treatment works
Partners
Carron Valley Water Treatment Works: Scottish Water Solutions and delivery partner Biwater Leslie
Connecting house in Carron Valley and Muirlands School to the water treatment works: Galliford Try/MorganEst Joint Venture (GMJV)
Area Affected
Improvements to the Carron Valley water treatrment works, that were completed in March 2010 have led to clearer, fresher drinking water for customers in Denny, Dunipace, Larbert, Stenhousemuir, Falkirk and Grangemouth.
Houses at Carron Valley Dam and the hamlet of Muirlands School will also receive better quality drinking water when they are connected to a new water main to connect them to Carron Valley water treatment works.
Previously if there was any interruption to the supply, the small water treatment works had no backup stores of water. The new system will have back up storage for 24 hours and a more reliable supply will come from the larger, modern Carron Valley facility.
