A £1.8 million project by Scottish Water to improve its waste water infrastructure and tackle flooding which has affected a number of properties in part of Clydebank is about to start.
Contractors working for Scottish Water are due to start work on a £1.8m project to increase the capacity of the sewer network in the Old Street area of Clydebank.
The project includes the construction of a new underground storage tank and associated pipe work.
The investment will enable the network to hold more waste water during times of heavy rainfall and reduce the risk of flooding of several properties. It will also enable Scottish Water to remove two properties which have been affected by internal flooding, and four by external flooding, from its register of properties that are at risk of flooding in storm conditions.
The work, which will be undertaken by the water company’s contractor amey Black & Veatch jv, is due to start next week and is expected to be completed by about April 2016.
The project is part of Scottish Water’s 2015 to 2021 Business Plan commitment to remove all customers from the internal sewer flooding register (those with a 10% or greater chance of flooding occurring per annum) as quickly as possible and typically within four years.
