Communities in Broxburn, Armadale and Blackburn will all benefit from the £2.3 million improvement project, which is now underway.
Some sections of water main will be replaced with new pipes while others will be flushed to remove any deposits built up over time. Other sections will be coated in a special plastic PU-lining to improve water flow and prevent corrosion.
The work across West Lothian is part of Scottish Water’s six-year investment programme between 2015-21 worth around £3.5 billion.
