Scottish Water has completed a major £6 million upgrade of Dalbeattie’s waste water infrastructure to boost the local environment and meet the future needs of the area.
The water company has enhanced and increased the size of the town’s ageing waste water treatment works, enabling it to process waste water well into the future with the latest technology for an increased number of customers and properties.
Project Manager Mark Keast said:
“We have replaced, upgraded and demolished infrastructure on the Dalbeattie site to provide a 21st century waste water treatment works that will go on to serve future generations in the town.
“The River Urr is an important fishing and beauty spot. This project will help preserve the river and ensure that local people and visitors to the area can continue to enjoy it.”
The upgraded facility will now be better equipped to protect the local environment and will ensure continued compliance with the regulations surrounding urban waste water treatment and fresh water fisheries.
Amongst the improvements are upgraded treatment tanks, filters, pumps, pipework, a sample point for SEPA to monitor the works and demolition of redundant structures.
