Scottish Water has announced plans to host a community drop-in event for locals to learn more about multi-million-pound investment plans for Gladhouse Reservoir.
The drop-in event will be held at the Gorebridge Beacon (post code EH23 4TT) on Thursday 24th April between 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM.
The work which is aimed at improving the safety and resilience of the reservoir will begin in June 2025 and last approximately two years.
It involves the removal of the road bridge and a full refurbishment of the spillway asset on the north shore of the reservoir, ensuring continued provision of drinking water to 150,000 customers across Midlothian and parts of Edinburgh.
To allow for the removal of the road bridge, there will be a road closure in place for the duration of the project. Diversion route will be via Temple village.
Scottish Water has confirmed that visitors will still be able to access Gladhouse Reservoir while the work takes place.
The work is being undertaken by Scottish Water’s delivery partner, George Leslie Ltd.
