Mannofield Water Treatment Works upgrade

What Are We Doing? 

Scottish Water is investing in the water infrastructure in Aberdeen with a £8million upgrade to the existing Mannofield Water Treatment Works (WTW) to improve the resilience and function of the treatment works, ensuring we can supply fresh, clear drinking water for years to come. 

The work involves the construction of a new mixer chamber along with associated pipework, as well as new mechanical and electrical equipment to be installed within the existing building.

When Are We Doing It? 

Our main work is close to completion, which includes construction of the mixer chamber, demolition works within the existing Scottish Water building, deep excavations, diverting existing pipes and services, as well as installing new pipework.

The essential nature of the work we are carrying out, and the need to meet timescale commitments made to the Drinking Water Quality Regulator, mean that it is necessary for us to extend our on-site working hours. 

Extension of Restrictions - August 2024

We also have restrictions implemented on a section of Morningside Road to provide safe access for deliveries to the existing Mannofield WTW. To continue the essential construction work, we need to extend the restriction duration further.

Latest Update

The essential nature of the work we are carrying out, and the need to meet timescale commitments made to the Drinking Water Quality Regulator, mean that it is necessary for us to extend our on-site working hours.

This involves our site working hours being extended to 7am–6pm on weekdays starting from 11th March, as well as working some Saturday mornings if required. Our site team will do their best to ensure minimal disruption and will endeavour to keep any intrusive activities to during the usual working day.

We thank our customers for their understanding whilst we carry out this essential upgrade work.
