Scottish Water is continuing to work on a £3 million waste water network upgrade project in Cambuslang.

Contractors are underway with the next phase of the scheme, which involves upgrading existing sewer pipes on Fraser Street.

In addition, the networks capacity will be increased along Dukes Road, Fraser Street and Whyte Avenue to reduce the risk of pollution to Eastfield Burn.


The overall scheme involves creating new manholes on Glenside Drive as well as installing new combined storm overflow (CSO) systems with integral screens, headwall and outfall pipework.

As result of work on Fraser Street, a section of the road has been closed and diversions are in place.

Bill Elliot, Scottish Water's Community Team Manager for South Lanarkshire, said: "We are always working hard to do the right thing for our customers and the environment. These projects will do so by helping to alleviate flooding during periods of heavy rain and improving the quality of water in the adjacent Eastfield Burn.

"Our contractors have and will continue to do all they can to minimise disruption during the works."
