Laighlands Road Bothwell

The initial phase of work involved installing a temporary site access road and establishing the site compound. Site cabins are positioned near the dead-end section of Langside Road, adjacent to the Bellshill Bypass.

The next phase involved construction of the new storm storage tank and is being followed by the installation of a new pipeline in the fields adjacent to Laighlands Road. The project will then progress into Glebe Avenue, where a new pipeline and manhole will be installed, before concluding with the installation of a new rising main pipeline on Langside Road.

In order to provide safe access to the work area for our operatives, site vehicles and equipment, there will be a small number of trees and shrubs to trim or remove.

Our alliance partner, Caledonia Water Alliance will be managing this work on our behalf and will do what they can to minimise disruption.

Update - June 2026

Our major project to help prevent sewer flooding in Bothwell is progressing well.

The new storm storage tank has been constructed, and we expect the lid to be installed by the beginning of July.

The next phase of work will see the installation of a new pipeline and manholes underneath Glebe Avenue. We are currently working with other utility providers to divert critical infrastructure to facilitate this work and will provide a further update to customers ahead of work getting underway.

Once installed, this pipeline will feed into the section which has been under construction within the field to the east of Laighlands Road.

Delivery of this significant investment for the benefit of the community is on track to be completed by the end of the year.

We thank the community for their patience, understanding and cooperation.
