Busby Glen

 What We Are Doing

As part of multi-million pound investment across the greater Glasgow area where we have transformed Glasgow's waste water systems, we will are carrying out significant upgrade to the sewer network in the Busby Glen area. This work will reduce the risk of sewer flooding and provide environmental improvements to the local water courses. 
 
Once complete, the new infrastructure will help prevent items which are wrongly flushed down the toilet, such as baby wipes and plastic cotton buds etc. from overflowing into the River White Cart Water.   It will also reduce the risk of sewer flooding to properties in the area as well as to Busby Glen Park. 

Our alliance partners amey Black and Veatch (aBV) will be carrying out the works.
