Scottish Water Explores Future Use Of Carron Valley And North Third Reservoirs

Construction News Image

Scottish Water are seeking input for the future development and use of two Stirlingshire beauty spots – Carron Valley and North Third reservoirs.

Carron Valley supplies approximately 135,000 customers and many key business customers within the Forth Valley and surrounding areas. North Third Reservoir is no longer used as a source of drinking water.

The reservoirs are important both to local communities and many people further afield. Working with our partners and local organisations we want to ensure that the future of these sites is secure, sustainable and above all, safe.

The survey only takes a few minutes, and we would urge as many people as possible to complete it before the deadline of Friday 26 November

It will give us the vital knowledge we need to make these sites the best they can be for visitors while meeting operational needs and historical conservation requirements within budget.

Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) is just one of Scottish Water's key partners and manage the land around Carron Valley Reservoir.

Andrew Clark, Regional Visitor Services Manager from Forestry and Land Scotland said: "We are committed to working in partnership with Scottish Water at Carron Valley and are keen to hear what visitors think about the site and priorities for future improvements."
