UK Completes Drinking Water Project

Scottish Water has completed a £22m ($35m) project to ensure fresher drinking water for 250,000 users across Lanarkshire, UK.

The work in the project included upgrades to the Daer and Coulter treatment works. The Daer upgrades are expected to serve the people of Lanarkshire for over 50 years.

The second phase of the project involves the installation of modern electronic controls, which will ensure better water supplies within the region.

The investment also includes improvements to the filtration process, allowing for more water to be treated at an enhanced speed, according to hamiltonadvertiser.co.uk.

After upgrades the potable water system will process 129 million litres of water a day, up from the previous 114 million litres of water a day.
