Scottish Water has announced a £350,000 upgrade to its Uphall waste water network in West Lothian, Scotland.
The work will begin on 2 June and is expected to take around four months to complete. Alliance partner amey-Black and Veatch will carry out the work, which will require the replacement of 410 metres of a rising main from Uphall Pumping Station.
Scottish Water’s community team manager Bill Elliot said: “This upgrade to the sewer network is a significant investment for the future service to our West Lothian customers.
“By its very nature, waste water infrastructure has a lifespan and it is key that sections are replaced in good time to ensure they are in the best possible condition to provide a reliable service for many years to come.”
Following the reopening of the road, the final phase of work will involve the replacement of the pipe in private fields, with minimal impact to the public.
The company has assured residents of the West Lothian village that, for the duration of the work, there will be no effect to water supply or drainage.
