Scottish Water invites Tomatin residents to find out about planned investment

Scottish Water is inviting residents to attend an event at Strathdearn Millennium Hall to find out about a planned £5m investment to take care of Tomatin’s water supply.The utility’s delivery alliance partner Efficient Service Delivery (ESD) has been developing proposals for a new Water Treatment Works (WTW) to serve around 800 customers in the village. The new Works will be sited close to the existing borehole and WTW, on the west side of the river a short distance south of Findhorn Bridge.Work on the project is expected to get underway later in the Spring and to be completed by Summer 2020.The new Water Treatment Works will use a transportable model that has been developed in partnership between Scottish Water and Ross-shire Engineering for use in rural communities. The WTW will be assembled and tested at Ross-shire Engineering’s specialist factory in Muir of Ord, before being carefully delivered and installed at its long term home.
