Scottish Water has advised customers in Pollokshaws Road, Glasgow of work that will be carried out to improve the existing water infrastructure in the area.

On Monday 26 November, work to upgrade 83 metres of pipes begins on Pollokshaws Road and is expected to last for approximately three weeks. The work is being undertaken by Scottish Water's contractors Clancy Docwra.

Traffic management has been arranged in liaison with Glasgow City Council and some parking restrictions will be in place to enable the work to take place.

The carriageway will be reduced from four lanes to two between Pollokshaws Railway station and Pollokshaws Bowling Club. Drivers and pedestrians are urged to follow signage in place.

Ruaridh MacGregor, Scottish Water's corporate affairs regional manager, said: "This work will ensure our customers continue to enjoy clear, fresh drinking water and also help reduce the chance of pipes bursting.

"Some customers may experience a change in water pressure and/or discoloured water. If this happens, simply turn on the cold water tap in your kitchen and let the water flow slowly until it runs clear."

He added: "We thank customers in advance for their patience and understanding while this essential work is carried out."
