Scottish Water is getting ready to start work on an £800,000 project to address sewer flooding in Bridge of Weir, Renfrewshire.
There has been an issue with waste water surcharging from a manhole in the village during periods of heavy rainfall for a number of years.
Georgina Reid, Scottish Water’s regional corporate affairs manager in the west, said:
“Sewer flooding is unpleasant whenever and wherever it happens.
“Flood water from the manhole spills down an access road towards Main Street and also pools on the uneven surface when the flooding subsides.
“This project will increase the capacity of that section of the network drastically reducing the likelihood of it flooding in the future.”
The work will begin on Monday 26 June 2023 and is expected to take approximately six months to complete.
The project will be delivered in a series of phases, including the installation of a larger sewer. The work will be carried out by the water company’s alliance partner Caledonia Water Alliance (CWA).
