Scottish Water is inviting members of the local community to attend an upcoming information event to find out more about planned works in and around Cramond Promenade as part of its £500million Improving Urban Waters programme.
Three storm overflows – Cramond House, Davidson’s Mains and Cramond Wastewater Pumping Station (WWPS) will be upgraded in the £8.6m project and upgrading works will be carried out on the local sewer network.
The drop-in event will take place on Thursday 11 June 2026 at the Millennium Room, Cramond Kirk, 16 Glebe Rd, EH4 6NS between 4pm and 6.30pm.
Members of the project team will be present to share information about the planned works and answer any questions.
Scottish Water Senior Project Manager Ethan Gillies-Denning said: “Cramond is one of several communities where we are making significant investment within our Improving Urban Waters programme to improve the performance of the sewer network.
“Once completed, the new screened storm overflow will help manage the impacts of heavy rainfall and significantly reduce the number of wet wipes and other sewer related debris getting into the Firth of Forth, enhancing the area for everyone and delivering long-term benefits to our customers and the local environment.”
Storm overflows are an essential component in Scotland’s sewer network, designed to prevent wastewater from backing up and flooding homes and businesses during heavy rain.
“We’d encourage anyone interested in finding out more to come along, speak to the team and ask any questions they may have.”
The event offers an opportunity for people to learn more about the project, understand what to expect in their area, and speak directly with those delivering the work.
No booking is required and attendees can arrive at any time during the event.
