Total duration of approximately 12 months
Why we are doing this
The pre-existing sewer pipes in this part of the village were made of a material called pitch fibre. As the pipes aged, they tended to flatten, increasing the risk of blockages - with potential to cause unpleasant odours and flooding for customers.
Replacing these pipes ensures that the local sewer network can provide a reliable service to affected homes on Nairn Road, Station Road and Cameron Drive for many years to come.
What we are doing
The sewer in this area of Ardersier was previously mainly located within customers' gardens. To reduce the level of disruption during installation and any future maintenance, we have laid the replacement sewer in the road verge as far as possible and, where necessary, in the road.
Our contractor Morrison Construction has now removed the temporary site compound that was previously in place on part of the playing field to store equipment, materials and welfare facilities for their team. Reinstatement of this area will take place during the spring and early summer, with heras fencing remaining to protect the new grass as it becomes established.

Talented children from the nearby school designed posters with a vital safety message to be displayed at our site compound
Latest news
Work to renew the sewers was completed during winter 2023/24. Reinstatement of grass areas will be ongoing over spring and early summer to restore the areas where work has taken place. We would like to thank residents for their patience while we have been working in the vicinity of their homes; and while we return grass areas affected to their previous condition.
