Bertha Park Water Project
Project Overview
Scottish Water is investing into Perth's water infrastructure with a large scale project taking place across the city from the water treatment works (WTW) at Gowans Terrace all the way north to the pumping station at Luncarty.
This project will allow for future growth and development within the city, with the Bertha Park development benefiting initially from the project which will also allow Scottish Water to continue to supply fresh clear drinking water for its customers.

What are we doing?
Latest update - Oct 2025
We’re making great progress on an important project to improve the water supply in and around Perth.
9km of new water pipe has been laid from Perth Water Treatment Works to feed a brand-new storage reservoir north of the city (dark green line).
A 6-million-litre drinking water storage tank has now been completed on high ground above Bertha Park, helping to secure supplies for the future.
A 2.3km pipe (light blue line) is being laid to carry water by gravity from the new reservoir to Luncarty Pumping Station. This will run across private land, so it won’t affect the public.
Finally, over 1km of new pipes (green line) will connect the reservoir to homes in Bertha Park. This work will also take place away from public roads and footpaths.
These improvements will strengthen Perth’s water network, providing reliable, high-quality drinking water for local communities now and in the future.
