Scottish Water has announced a £480,000 investment to support Winchburgh growth plans by ensuring the water network can continue to deliver fresh, clear drinking water for years to come.

The work will involve upgrading and recommissioning 1.2km of an existing 9” water main on a section of the B9080 carriageway and overbridge crossing on the M9.

Work is due to commence from Monday 7th October and is expected to last approximately eight weeks.

A rolling traffic management programme will be required to allow the work to progress safely. Directional signage will be in place.

The publicly owned utility advises that the existing water main is currently out of service and will remain so until completion of the work. This work is part of a wider project to support the development of at least 3,800 new homes to the local area.

The work will be carried out by Scottish Water’s commercial subsidiary, Scottish Water Horizons, and delivery partner George Leslie.

Scottish Water thanks impacted road users for their patience and understanding throughout.
