Flood prevention

This proposed investment would involve construction of a large SUDs pond

Scottish Water is developing a project to reduce the risk of flooding in Wellhouse.

This proposed investment would involve construction of a large Sustainable Urban Drainage systems (SUDs) pond on the land between Newhills Road and Balado Road to store flood water during storm events.

SUDs help retain surface water runoff and help protect water quality and reduce potential for flood risk.

A planning application will be submitted to Glasgow City Council in support of this investment before the end of November.

Full details of the planning application will be posted at Glasgow City Council’s website.

Further updates will be posted regarding these works following the outcome of the planning application.

This project is being carried out by Scottish Water’s alliance partner Caledonia Water Alliance.
