Work is continuing on a £700,000 sewer upgrade project in Arbroath.

The first phase of the project started in May, and has recommenced today, 17 September, after a summer break to minimise disruption. It involves the installation of new valves accessed from the manhole in the road next to The Old Brewhouse.

Phase two works will immediately follow the completion of the new valves. A new control kiosk will be built along with the upgrade of the existing pumping station at Old Shore Head.

Scottish Water alliance partner aBV is carrying out the works.

The project is expected to be complete in approximately 10 weeks.

Clive Duncan from Scottish Water said: "The working area will be securely fenced off for the duration of the work and a small site compound will be located on the mono-blocked area opposite the pumping station.

"We want to thank the local community for all their feedback throughout the planning stages and for their patience and understanding while the work on this project is carried out."
