Further details of the work will be available at the exhibition.

Ruaridh MacGregor, Scottish Water's Community Team Manager, said: "This event, along with our wider communications to the local area is greatly important, in helping us understand the needs of customers, giving them the opportunity to find out more, and also in ensuring customers are fully aware of works that affect them.

"The work we are set to carry out is essential for the long term water supply. By refurbishing our water mains, it will ensure that the water supply network continues to provide water quality of the highest standard."

The event will take place at Blackness Community Library between 3pm – 7:30pm on Thursday, 28 April.
