Project Overview

Scottish Water, in collaboration with the Scottish Government's Private Water Supplies project, is working to address water scarcity issues in Milton of Cushnie and the surrounding area.

The proposed project aims to extend the public water main, providing households with the opportunity to connect to a reliable and sustainable source of drinking water.

This initiative is part of a broader effort to improve the resilience of communities historically reliant on private water supplies.

The project is being delivered by our commercial subsidiary, Scottish Water Horizons.
