Upgrading Your Water Services: Evanton to Dingwall
Project Overview
We are improving the water services in your community by upgrading the water pipes between Evanton and Dingwall.
Customers living in this area have experienced recurring interruptions to their water supply. This is essential investment to upgrade the network, ensuring customers can enjoy clear, fresh drinking water while reducing the risk of pipe bursts.
As part of this project, we will be installing approximately 8.2km of new water mains at various locations between Evanton and Dingwall.
To carry out these essential upgrades, the works will involve both private land and local roads, requiring traffic management measures for safety.
At A Glance
- Installing approx. 8.2km water main between Evanton and Dingwall
- Programme of work is being designed
Update - July 2026
After listening to the concerns that have been expressed by local communities, the project team has considered the issues raised and is proposing to defer the work to A862 that is needed to renew the local water network until 2026.
This will allow our design team to explore options further to minimise the impact of the work on the road network. The team are looking again at the feasibility of all options which could reduce the length of disruption.
In the meantime, we would like to apologise for the concerns that the proposed road closure has caused locally. While the work we need to do to renew the local water network is essential, our aim is always to minimise and mitigate the disruption that this involves as far as we reasonably can.
We will update our stakeholders and the community as soon as we have further information to share.
