A £13 million project to upgrade water treatment works in time for the Commonwealth Games is getting under way, designed to improve services and help protect the River Clyde.
Scottish Water is about to start three major upgrades at key
waste-water treatment works which serve more than a million people
in the Glasgow and Paisley area.
The projects will improve the Shieldhall and Dalmarnock Waste Water
Treatment Works (WWTW) in Glasgow and the Laighpark works in
Paisley. The work will help protect the environment on the River
Clyde and meet ministerial and Scottish Environment Protection
Agency requirements.
The improvements at Shieldhall, which serves around 585,000 people
in the south of Glasgow, Newton Mearns and Renfrew areas, will
involve investment of about £6.5m.
This investment will ensure a first-class service and help protect
the River Clyde.
The work will help ensure water meets ministerial and Scottish
Environment Protection Agency requirements and will include the
replacement of screens, the replacement or refurbishment of pumps
and the refurbishment of the sludge pumping station's main
switchboard.
