Sewer Network Upgrades at Broxden, Perth

Project Overview

On behalf of Perth & Kinross Council, our commercial subsidiary Scottish Water Horizons, are carrying out essential upgrades to the sewer infrastructure which serves Broxden Business Park in Perth.

The project involves the installation of over a kilometre of new foul sewer, connecting a pumping station in Tweed Place to the gravity sewer in Glasgow Road. Once complete, this work will enable the pumping station and associated infrastructure to be transferred into the long-term ownership and care of Scottish Water.

These upgrades will allow us to continue to meet customers in the areas waste water needs for years to come, while also reducing risk of localised flooding.

Why this work is needed

The work being carried out is essential to connect the foul sewer network at Broxden Business Park to the city’s main sewer system, so that we can ensure it continues to serve customers well for years to come.

As well as enabling the pumping station and associated infrastructure to be transferred into the long-term ownership and care of Scottish Water, this project will also help reduce the risk of flooding in the Lamberkine Drive area.

Latest Project Update

Phase 1 and 2 of the project have now been successfully completed and Phase 3 is now underway.

Phase 3 began on Monday 17th June with an overnight road closure on a section of Lamberkine Drive for 4 weeks. This closure has now been completed and we would like to thank our customers for their patience and understanding during this time.

During the remainder of this phase of works there will be 2-way traffic lights and parking restrictions in place on Tweed Place.

Below you can see a graphic which shows each phase of this project and the time estimated for them to take. The project as a whole is expected to continue for around 10 months.
