Scottish Water has completed a project to improve the natural environment of watercourses in East Renfrewshire.
An investment of almost £2.8m has been spent on the scheme which focused on the Stamperland and Busby areas. The work on the waste water network will help to improve the environment of the White Cart Water, the utility provider has said.
The project involved installing new infrastructure such as Combined Sewer Overflows (CSO's), powered screens, interconnecting pipework, storage, and improved monitoring equipment.
George Leslie carried out the work on behalf of Scottish Water.
Mark Maclaren, Scottish Water's Regional Communities Team Manager, said: "Scottish Water's investment in these parts of East Renfrewshire will deliver major environmental benefits for years to come and we know that local people will appreciate that any short-term inconvenience while this work was carried out will be far out-weighed by the long-term benefits to the environment that it will deliver."
