Dollar Waste Water Treatment Works Upgrade
Project Overview
We are upgrading the waster water treatment works serving Dollar in Clackmannanshire
At A Glance
- £1million project to upgrade waste water treatment works
- Equipment is reaching the end of its serviceable life and needs to be replaced
- Project being delivered by WGM Engineering and is expected to be completed in summer 2025
Served Its Purpose
Much of the machinery has reached the end of its working life
What We Are Doing
The Devon Way site in Dollar plays a crucial role in treating waste water, handling up to 1500 cubic metres per day.
We are installing temporary treatment machinery which will be used while the investment work is carried out.
Why We Are Doing It
The waste water treatment works have served the town of Dollar for over 30 years but the machinery is reaching the end of its serviceable life.
We are investing record amounts – more than £2billion over the past 10 years - to address the challenges of ageing assets, increasing demand and climate change.
The Dollar Waste Water Treatment Works project is being delivered by WGM Engineering and is expected to be completed in June 2025.
Update August 2025
We are close to completing the upgrade work at the site.
Temporary treatment equipment which had been used during project delivery can now be removed but this will require a giant 300-tonn crane to be brought to the site.
Access is along Devon Way - a single track road which is popular with dog walkers and horse riders.
This will be closed between the A91 west of Dollar and Walton Crescent from Wednesday 13 August to Monday 18 August 2025. Temporary traffic lights will be installed on the A91 on the western approach to Dollar to be used when the crane and heavy machinery are arriving and leaving the site.
Special trackway mats will be laid along Devon Way to allow the crane and other heavy machinery to use the route safely.
We remain on schedule to complete the project in the summer of 2025.
