Scottish Water’s multi-million pound project to tackle sewer flooding in North Lanarkshire is nearing completion.

The £3.1 million investment in Chryston has seen a new underground storm tank and 300 metres of upsized combined sewer pipe installed to increase capacity in the area.

Georgina Reid, Scottish Water’s corporate affairs manager for the west said:

“Tackling sewer flooding is a top priority for us and requires significant levels of investment.

“Scottish Water is investing many millions of pounds in projects of this type up and down the country, as we continue to upgrade and improve our infrastructure to deliver a world class service that is resilient and well-placed to cope with the impact of climate change.”

Scottish Water’s alliance partner Amey binnies is now carrying out reinstatement works which are anticipated to be completed at the end of April.
