CWA Continues Work On £5m Dundee Water Mains Upgrade

Caledonia Water Alliance (CWA) is continuing work on a £5 million water mains upgrade project in Dundee.

The scheme aims to improve the water supply to around 11,000 homes across the city.

So far, over 16km of pipes have been replaced and the project remains on schedule for the end of this year.

Scottish Water's Regional Community Manager for Dundee, Ruaridh MacGregor, said: "The purpose of this major investment is to ensure the people of Dundee can continue to receive fresh, clean drinking water long into the 21st Century.

"We appreciate since the work started in May last year customers have faced inconvenience and disruption at times. While we have tried to keep this to a minimum, due to the nature of the work sometimes this is inevitable.

"Their patience and understanding as the work has been rolled out across large parts of the city though has helped Scottish Water and CWA ensure we have remained on schedule. Close partnership working with other utilities and especially Dundee City Council, has also helped minimise any disruption as much as possible.

"The £5 million mains upgrade remains on schedule and is due for completion by the end of this year."
