Investing in Balmaha Waste Water Treatment Works

Why are we doing this? 

We are preparing to invest in the future of Balmaha Waste Water Treatment Works (WWTW) in Stirlingshire.

Greater demand is expected to be placed on the waste water network in Balmaha, with increased growth in the area including new housing developments and holiday lets. The existing works must be upgraded to ensure it is fit for purpose and can deal with increased capacity on our waste water services in the area. The above video provides a project overview and our plans for the area.

What are we doing? 

Planning has now been submitted to Stirling Council. It includes proposals for new plant and infrastructure, as well as modifications to the existing plant.

We have been engaging with the local community for some time to develop our plans and to ensure they have minimal impact on both the village and the local ecology and wildlife.

Site compound construction is already underway in anticipation of the application being granted.

As part of this process, we engaged with the local community and invited local residents and stakeholders along to a community information event at The Oak Tree Inn on Wednesday 15 November. 

This was a drop in event and gave people the chance to speak to the project team and learn more about the planned works.   

For anyone unable to attend, project documents which were displayed at the event can be viewed here:
