Scottish Water is starting a £3.5 million improvement works project this week to replace the existing sewer rising main at Craigendoran Pier, Helensburgh.
The investment is the arrival of a long term solution to help mitigate the need for ongoing maintenance of the main.
The first phase of work to replace 1800 metres of main will be carried out from today and is scheduled to be completed by September.
Ruaridh MacGregor, Regional Communities Manager at Scottish Water said:
“Scottish Water is committed to investing millions of pounds in upgrading, maintaining and building new waste water treatment and systems to ensure we meet the high European Legislation standards for protecting the environment.
The activity will consist of the installation of an underground plastic pipeline from the existing Craigendoran Pier sewage pumping station to the existing sewage treatment works at Ardmore.
Sam Neill, Programme Project Manager, said:the existing main is in a deteriorating condition and it was essential this is resolved as quickly as possible to ensure the water company is constantly providing the highest quality service.The new pipeline being installed will significantly reduce the chance of failure in the future.
