SCOTTISH Water has announced details of a £75 million investment to transform their infrastructure in Ayrshire.
These include major projects in the Kilmarnock area.
An investment of around £3 million will be made at the Corsehouse Water Treatment Works to provide better quality drinking water to 9,000 customers in Dunlop and Stewarton. The work will start this autumn and should take about a year.
An upgrade at the Amlaird Water Treatment Works, near Fenwick, costing £1.5 million, will benefit 33,000 customers in the Kilmarnock area.
An estimated £7.3 million investment to provide better drinking water to 185,000 customers in south Kilmarnock, Irvine and South Ayrshire should start this summer.
Around £1.3 million will be spent on Stewarton Waste Water Treatment Works to improve effluent discharged into the Annick Water.
Ayrshire-wide schemes will see 253 kilometres of water mains renewed at a cost of £12.5 million. This will see old mains replaced with plastic pipes, and will lead to improvements.
Sewer renewal across Ayrshire will see 32 kilometres of old pipes replaced at a cost of £3.8 million. |
