Motorists warned ahead of Scottish Water roadworks next week

Roadworks are set to take place in Hamilton next Monday.

Scottish Water are advising motorists of some road traffic management during upgrades to the local water infrastructure.

From Monday, April 5, Muttonhole Road in Hamilton will be closed between Highstonehall Road and Newhousemill Road to enable the improvement works to be carried out safely.

Road traffic management has been agreed in conjunction with South Lanarkshire Council.

It is anticipated that it will be in place for approximately one week and drivers are urged to follow local diversions.

Georgina Reid, corporate affairs manager in the west, said: “It’s important that our customers continue to enjoy clear, fresh drinking water. This essential work to improve the resilience of existing infrastructure and help reduce the chance of pipes bursting will help us achieve that.

“Some customers may experience a change in water pressure and/or discoloured water. If this happens, simply turn on the cold water tap in your kitchen and let the water flow slowly until it runs clear.”

She added: “We apologise for any inconvenience and thank affected road users and local residents in advance for their patience and understanding.”

Scottish Water personnel and contractors will adhere to Scottish Government Covid-19 guidance for the construction industry and the public.

Measures will be in place to ensure safe working and allow for safe distancing by our workforce. This also ensures the safety of people in the communities and locations where we are working.
