ESD is currently laying new pipework to connect a new £22 million treatment works currently under construction in the town to the local network.
A road closure was put in place on the Keithhall Road (B993) for two weeks in order to carry out this essential work. However, the closure has now been lifted and the road has been reopened ahead of schedule.

Keith Robertson, ESD site manager for Inverurie, said: "I'm delighted the contractors working on the new pipeline were able to get this part of work completed ahead of schedule.
"This is a vital stage as we construct the new waste water treatment works in Inverurie.
"This £22m project will use an innovative process called 'Nereda', which is a new method of wastewater treatment, pioneered by several wastewater companies in the Netherlands.
"The work has been going well on site and has so far taken place entirely within the boundary of the existing Scottish Water site, without any day to day impact on customers, so we are glad this closure has now been lifted and customers and commuters now won't be inconvenienced with the roadworks."
