Scottish Water is investing £2 million to upgrade a section of its supply network in Springburn and Robroyston to support the development of around 5,000 new homes.
Through its commercial subsidiary Scottish Water Horizons, the publicly owned utility is upgrading critical infrastructure and installing over a mile of new pipework.
Horizons Project Manager Greg Small said:
“We are committed to supporting sustainable economic growth and connecting new developments to our supply network.
“Robroyston in particular is experiencing a rapid growth in new housing requiring the existing infrastructure to be upgraded and new water main pipes installed.
“This project will allow the extra demand to be met and will ensure customers enjoy a reliable and resilient supply.”
The work will be carried out in a series of phases at five locations across Springburn and Robroyston from the end of May 2024 for approximately six months. It includes upgrading Cockmill Pumping Station in Springburn Park and installing over a mile of new water main.
The work is being carried out by Scottish Water’s delivery partner George Leslie Ltd.
