Scottish Water has completed its improvement work on water mains in the west of Bearsden.

The upgrade project will benefit almost 1,000 customers in the area with clearer, fresher drinking water, as well as an improved security of supply.

The investment in the infrastructure saw the replacement of a section of water main in the Westbourne Crescent and Abbotsford Road area of Bearsden. The new pipe will help provide better quality water and, because it is made of plastic, is less susceptible to bursts than the cast-iron section it replaced.

In addition to the above, the contractors also replaced a short stretch of main on the footpath between Westbourne Crescent and Abbotsford Road.

Mark Maclaren, Scottish Water's Regional Communities Team Manager, said: "We would like to thank customers, pedestrians and road-users in the area for their understanding and co-operation during this essential work.

"We are sure that local residents will appreciate that any short-term inconvenience is far out-weighed by the long-term benefits this investment is now delivering."
