Scottish Water has begun a £200,000 improvement project in Fife.

Work to upgrade sections of the sewer networks at Harbour View in Methil and Haugh Road in Burntisland began on 02 May.

The project involves relining the existing sewer after small segments of networks have been impacted by the tree root growth.

Scottish Water will use specialised equipment to mitigate noise levels during the two-week scheme.

Project Manager Scott Heath said: "We are working hard to always do the right thing for the environment in Scotland and we have identified essential upgrades to the waste water network in both Methil and Burntisland.

"Following site investigations last year we are now ready to begin work on the main phase of construction.

"When we have completed our work, the area will be reinstated to the original standard."
