Scottish Water

Scottish Water has reached a major milestone in its £60 million investment to revamp Invercannie Water Treatment Works (WTW) in Aberdeenshire. The WTW by Banchory was originally constructed more than 150 years ago and was hailed a jewel in the crown of engineering success.

A solar scheme in Moffat is now helping power the pumps which provide water to the town’s water treatment works.

A Scottish Water site in Perth is now significantly greener, thanks to the installation of an £852,000 solar scheme. The scheme has seen 1,236 ground mounted PV (photovoltaic) panels installed on the site at Gowan’s Terrace which hosts a Scottish Water office and water treatment works. I

Scottish Water has completed work on a £2.3 million solar power and battery energy storage scheme which is set to save around 169 tonnes of carbon annually.

The installation of smart technology – including monitors and sensors - across Scotland’s underground sewer system is already helping to prevent waste water discharges in the marine environment. New intelligent network sensors have enabled steps to be taken which have stopped waste water

A £516,000 project to install over 886 solar panels has been completed at a waste water treatment works in East Ayrshire, supporting Scottish Water’s pledge to reach net zero emissions by 2040.

More than 885 solar panels have been installed on two Scottish Water sites in the Central Belt, helping to save 57 tonnes of carbon a year and address the increasing urgency of climate change. The projects have seen 512 photovoltaic (PV) panels installed at Bothwellbank Waste Water Treatment Works i

After less than a year in his job, a Scottish Water apprentice has clinched both Scottish and UK top awards for his innovative work and presentation on using the natural flow of water to generate electricity.

One of the most important waste water facilities in Scotland has undergone a technological transformation 120 years after it was built at the end of the Victorian era.

Sniffer dogs being used to help find leaking water mains in Scotland have scored some big successes with the discovery of 21 suspected leaks in the Borders and East Lothian recently. Scottish Water has been deploying a team of specially trained dogs to help locate leaks in pipes in rural areas where

Scottish Water has turned to ultra high-pressure robotics in a UK-first to remove decades of industrial deposits blocking a strategic sewer in South Lanarkshire.

Scottish Water’s £2.5 million project to tackle frequent flooding on the A8 trunk road through Inverclyde has been completed. East Hamilton Street in Greenock – which runs parallel to the River Clyde past the James Watt Dock - has been prone to localised floods for many years.

Scottish Water has broken ground on a pioneering new type of hydro energy generation scheme at Whiteadder Reservoir in East Lothian as part of its work to reduce carbon emissions.

Heriot-Watt University Chemical and Energy Engineering Graduate, Steven Brasher from Dalgety Bay, celebrated the delivery of his first large-scale solar project at Denny Waste Water Treatment Works. More than £660,000 was invested by Scottish Water to install over 830 solar panels at the works

The last project in a programme of wastewater infrastructure works across Scotland has successfully completed an urban flood prevention scheme that will protect central Lanark and properties in the area from flooding.
