Water Main Upgrade in Milton, Dumfries and Galloway
Project Overview
We are investing £1million to replace 5km of water network in and around the Milton area of Newton Stewart. The project will ensure customers continue to enjoy fresh, clear drinking water for years to come, and reduce the chance of pipes bursting.
Work is due to start on Thursday, 5 December 2024 and last approximately 39 weeks.
The work is being carried out by our alliance partner, Caledonia Water Alliance.
