Scottish Water is inviting feedback on proposals for a multi-million pound replacement of its bioresources treatment plant located in Daldowie.

A drop-in public consultation event has been scheduled for Wednesday 17 June at the community wing of Newton Farm Primary School in Cambuslang. Running from 4pm until 7:30pm, the session will allow the local community to review the plans, meet the project team, ask questions, and share their views.

The proposed investment involves constructing a state-of-the-art bioresource treatment centre on land adjacent to the existing sludge treatment facility at Daldowie.

By replacing ageing assets at the site with modern technology, the new centre is designed to treat bioresource from households across Scotland's Central Belt to an extremely high quality standard. The facility will also accommodate planned future growth, significantly improve carbon efficiency, and lower overall operating costs.

Scottish Water Project Lead, Fraser Simpson, said: "This is one of the most significant investments Scottish Water has undertaken, and it is vital that local residents and stakeholders have the opportunity to find out more about our proposals and share their views.

"The new bioresource treatment centre at Daldowie will replace ageing infrastructure with modern, innovative technology that will dramatically reduce carbon emissions, generate renewable energy and produce a high-quality product that can be recycled to agricultural land.

"We encourage anyone with an interest to come along to one of our information events, where our project team will be on hand to answer questions and hear feedback."

A second consultation event is planned for August, ahead of a formal planning application submission expected later this year.
