Treatment works set to improve bathing water quality in Lower Largo Bay
Work to improve the quality of bathing water in Lower Largo Bay is about to get underway.
Scottish Water is set to add a secondary treatment plant located on land adjacent to the existing waste water treatment works.
Phase one involves building an access road off the existing A915 to provide means of entry to the secondary treatment plant, helping to minimise the impact on those living locally.
Work will begin on Monday, March 9 and temporary traffic lights will be in place between Upper and Lower Largo.
A Scottish Water spokesperson said: “After a lengthy and detailed design and planning process we are pleased that work is now getting under way to deliver this significant investment for the benefit of the community in Lower Largo.
“We thank the community for their support and patience while our teams carry out these vital works.”
Delivery of this project involves the installation of equipment including a new access road and bellmouth off the existing A915, two secondary treatment kiosks, tertiary filters, UV filters and temporary power generators. Equipment will be housed within and protected by a 2.4m high security fence, with a security gate.
