The water network infrastructure in Dalserf and Rosebank is to undergo upgrade work, starting next week.

The work, beginning on 10 August, involves upgrades to approximately 4,140 metres of pipework in the area.

It is expected to take around five months to complete.

Work will begin on the A71 Garrion Bridge and move on a rolling programme along the A72 Lanark Road into Netherburn Road, before finishing on Manse Brae.

Caledonia Water Alliance will carry out the project on behalf of Scottish Water.

Road traffic management plans will be in place after an agreement with South Lanarkshire Council.

Ruaridh MacGregor, Scottish Water's corporate affairs regional manager, said: "This work is vital to ensure our customers in the area continue to enjoy clear, fresh drinking water and to reduce the risk of burst pipes. 

"It's inevitable with this type of work that there will be some disruption in the local area but I'd like to reassure the local residents that we'll do all we can to minimise any disruption while the works are under way. 

"We'd like to thank the local community in advance for their patience and understanding whilst this essential work is carried out."
