Manse Road Water Main Replacement
Information supplied by Scottish Water

This project started on 3 October 2011 and will last for approximately 4 weeks. The work will be carried out by Fastflow on Mondays to Fridays 7.30 am to 6pm.

• Originally some residents were advised that a closure of the bridge for 1 day might be necessary. However after receiving their concerns, Scottish Water will try to minimise bridge closure. This is the latest advice:

'Scottish Water will be digging down either side of the bridge - these pits will be used for relining the pipe and we do not envisage having to close the bridge for this work. However, if things change we will get back to you as soon as possible with an update on the situation and if we do have to close the bridge at this time it will be for a very short time while relining is being completed."

• We have also now been advised that housebound and some other residents will have water delivered during the extended closures.
• Liaison with Stirling Council appears to have failed regarding bin collection but we are told this is being addressed for w/c 10 October.
• Excavations should be protected and stay in place to avoid traffic and pedestrian hazard.

If you do not received satisfactory service from Scottish Water when you contact them or identify any new concerns, please let us know by email or call into the PO in Aberfoyle and tell Ros Dingwall.
