Today, we are delighted to announce that we have received a firm commitment from The Scottish Government for upgrades to seven Wastewater Treatment Works, including Blackburn WwTW, to meet tighter discharge limits for nutrients and reduce spills from six associated combined sewer overflows.
These agreed plans to Scottish Water assets will improve the water quality to good status on the River Almond by 2027, in line with the Water Framework Directive.
We are delighted to continue to work constructively with Forth Rivers Trust, Veolia, SEPA, Scottish Water, West Lothian Council, local councillors and politicians, but most importantly local communities and community groups along our river for a cleaner, healthier and swimmable River Almond.
We will confirm further details of the works and planned timeframes when we know more.Together, we will #StopTheSewage#CleanRiverPledge
