£1.4 million project to improve Culloden water network set to get under way

A total of 2.2km of new water main will be installed during the course of the Culloden water improvements project which starts on Monday.

The new pipeline will start to be laid at the junction of Barn Church Road, continuing along Tower Road and finishing in Culloden Road at the Nairnside junction.

The work will be delivered on a rolling programme which will be ongoing until the middle of 2020.

Project manager Donald MacPhee said: “This is a significant project which will mean we can meet the needs of housing and economic growth in Culloden and the surrounding area, as well as ensuring customers continue to receive clean, fresh great-tasting water now and in the coming years.”
