Scottish Water submits new improved plan for waste water treatment works for Dunoon

Scottish Water has submitted a planning application for an upgrading of its earlier application for a new Waste Water Treatment Works at Bullwood Quarry in Dunoon.

The company’s Regional Manager, Chris Toop, says of the new system now submitted: ‘The re-design will provide further benefits of improved treatment, less potential for odours, and a simpler treatment process.

‘The new proposed treatment process is conventional, robust, simpler to operate and more flexible than the one we had previously planned. It does not require primary settlement, which is a principal cause of odour, and can better accommodate the population fluctuations in a seasonal holiday town such as Dunoon.

‘We feel it is important to deliver the best possible scheme for the area and believe the enhanced proposal will be to everyone’s benefit’.

Mr Toop also says that further applications will be submitted for pumping station sites associated with the improved plans. These will be submitted ‘after we have had communications with the local community and stakeholders early in the New Year’

If the necessary permissions are obtained within the usual timescales, Scottish Water anticipates beginning work on the project in mid 2009.
