Work is continuing on a £3.6 million water quality upgrade project in West Lothian.

Scottish Water's partner Caledonia Water Alliance (CWA) is refurbishing around 46km of water mains pipe in Armadale, Blackburn and Broxburn.

The second phase of the scheme is now underway in Blackburn. Work will take place on the following streets;

• Hopefield Road

• Hopefield Drive

• Hopefield Place

• Whitehill Drive

• Whitehill View


• Yule Place

• Yule Terrace

• Almond Road

• Almond Road

The works are scheduled to be finished by the end of August.

Bill Elliot, Scottish Water's regional communities team manager, said: "Pipe refurbishment work includes replacement, re-lining the internal surface of the mains or cleaning them by swabbing and flushing. This improves the water quality from the existing water mains pipes by cleaning any deposits that have built up over time.

"Customers in the area may see a disruption to their water supply for periods during the project but anyone affected will be notified at least 48 hours in advance.

"We appreciate the patience and understanding of customers across West Lothian as we look to deliver a project that ensures Scottish Water can continue to provide clean, fresh drinking water long into the future."
