Once finished, around 4,000 customers will benefit from upgraded pipes.

Scott Fraser, Scottish Water's Corporate Affairs Regional Manager, said: "The £1m project to ensure customers security of water supply, is part of a wider programme of investment from 2015-20121 which will see £29.5m of infrastructure projects across the city.
