Scottish Water completes £1.2 million upgrade for waste water works
Work on a £1.2 million project to upgrade a waste water treatment works has been completed on schedule, Scottish Water has announced. The Carborn works near Wishaw, which were originally built in 1934 and upgraded in 1973, have been refitted and expanded.
Patricia Melly, project manager, Scottish Water, said: "The project will ensure waste water provision for the planned 'new town' of Ravenscraig and other locally planned developments by enhancing the capacity of the works to accept a population equivalent of 5,000 extra people. The site will also take on flows from the new Motherwell College.".
Rob Mustard, general manager for waste water at Scottish Water, detailed other projects under way: "Our investment programme for North Lanarkshire continues to gather pace.... we are investing more than £22 million at the Daer and Coulter Water Treatment Works - delivering an improved water supply to over 326,000 customers across North and South Lanarkshire."
