Scottish Water has advised me that planned
maintenance works are scheduled to take place at the wastewater pumping station
and storage tank sitting below the car park at Broughty Ferry Beach.
Although virtually invisible at ground level
the underlying structure is around 26m in diameter and 10m deep. The works involve emptying, cleaning and maintaining the storage
tank. Two small compounds are to be set up within the car park removing
between 6 to 7 parking spaces during the course of the works, which will commence
on Sunday 8th June and are expected to take about a week to complete.
Scottish Water has said that the works won’t
affect drainage of the Broughty Ferry sewer network and won’t cause any harm to
the water environment. There may be some localised odour from time to time but
this will be monitored and mitigated wherever possible. There will be some
overnight working to empty the storage tank but this is to be done using low
noise pumps.
