The investment will deliver a more resilient water supply and help reduce the risk of burst pipes

Why We Did This

This essential work was carried out in response to a history of bursts in the area, to help ensure our customers continue to enjoy fresh, great-tasting Scottish water.

The investment has delivered a more resilient water supply and reduced the risk of burst pipes, helping to minimise potential interruptions to normal service for customers.
