We are investing £3million to upgrade the water network and ensure customers continue to enjoy fresh, clear drinking water and reduce the chance of pipes bursting.

Port Ellen Upgrades
The investment will deliver a more resilient water supply and help reduce the risk of burst pipes.
What To Expect?
This significant investment involves the replacement of the water main servicing Port Ellen.
As with any work of this type, we will do all we can to work with the local community ensuring mitigation measures are in place to minimise any disruption.
Due to the nature of the local landscape with single-track roads, local residents and road users should expect some disruption. We are liaising with Argyll and Bute Council’s Roads Department to ensure the works can be delivered as smoothly as possible.
Why Are We Doing This?
With a history of bursts in the area, this essential work is being carried out to help ensure our customers continue to enjoy fresh, great-tasting Scottish water.
The investment will deliver a more resilient water supply and help reduce the risk of burst pipes, which can lead to interruptions of normal supplies for customers.
