Question
To ask the Scottish Executive what progress Scottish Water has made in building a new treatment works to reduce the risk of water contamination in parts of Glasgow.
Answer
As these are operational matters for Scottish Water, this is a matter for the Chief Executive and I have asked him to write to you on this.
In the meantime, you may be interested to know that Scottish Water is currently undertaking the construction of the Katrine Water Project, with an estimated value of around £120 million, to improve the drinking water of 700,000 customers in the Glasgow area. For more information and an update of progress please refer to Scottish Water’s website for this project: www.katrinewaterproject.com.
