Scottish Water has completed a £4 million investment project of essential upgrades to its waste water network infrastructure in Robslee, Giffnock which will help tackle the issue of flooding.

The up-sizing of the sewers involved approximately 776 metres of pipework being replaced.

The work will help prevent sewer flooding in the area and improve the water quality of the Bagabout Burn and the Otter Burn.

Georgina Reid, Scottish Water’s corporate affairs regional manager, said:

“We know just how much distress flooding – both internal and external - can cause for communities, so we’re delighted to have completed this project which will help reduce that risk for a number of properties in the area.

“What’s more, the environmental improvements this new infrastructure brings will also be of great benefit to the local community. It will help prevent items which are wrongly flushed down the toilet from overflowing into the local burns.”
