The projects, which involve investment of more than £13m in Scottish Water’s infrastructure, will upgrade the Shieldhall and Dalmarnock Waste Water Treatment Works(WWTW) in Glasgow and the Laighpark WWTW in Paisley.
The improvements will involve the replacement or refurbishment of equipment at the WWTWs which will improve their operability and ensure they continue to help protect and enhance the natural environment on the River Clyde.
Steven Fraser, Scottish Water’s waste water operations manager, said:
“Scottish Water is delighted to be starting this major investment in the capital maintenance of three of the most important Waste Water Treatment Works in the Glasgow and Paisley area.
“Shieldhall, Dalmarnock and Laighpark WWTWs play a very important role in providing waste water services to about a million customers in parts of the Glasgow area and this new investment will ensure they continue to provide a first-class service and help protect the natural environment of the River Clyde for years to come.
”We are committed to supporting the regeneration of the Glasgow area and to improving our infrastructure in the city as it prepares for the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games and other major events.”
Bailie Liz Cameron, Executive Member for Development and Regeneration Services at Glasgow City Council, added:
“Scottish Water is investing a significant amount in improvements to these key waste water treatment works that serve so many people in Glasgow.
“I think, for many of us, we take these facilities for granted but they provide such an important service for every one of us - 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”
The work at Shieldhall WWTW, the largest of the Glasgow area’s WWTWs which serves up to about 585,000 in the south of Glasgow, Newton Mearns and Renfrew areas, will involve investment of about £6.5m.
The work at Laighpark WWTW, which serves about 74,000 in the Paisley area, will involve investment of about £5.5m. The project at Dalmarnock WWTW, which serves up to about 370,000 customers across the East End of Glasgow and the north east of the city, will involve investment of about £1m.
