The Numbers
32,940 - miles of sewer pipes which take waste water away from homes and businesses which are maintained and improved by us.
1,826 – waste water treatment works across Scotland which treat the water before returning it to the environment.
35,000 – blockages in drains and sewers dealt with by our teams every year. These can cause flooding which affect your homes, neighbours, and can pollute rivers, burns and coastal waters.
80% - of these blockages are caused by people flushing the wrong items down the toilet, or pouring fat, oil and grease down the sink.
