Scottish Water

Crofters in North Uist and South Uist have praised our teams for their peatland restoration work, which has opened up new grazing areas while stabilising large areas of degraded peatland. Peatland is a major natural carbon sink. So, as a major land owner, we aim to restore up to 600 hectares across our own assets in Scotland, while also working to support other landowners. Our latest projects in the Outer Hebrides are helping to protect natural carbon stores in the peat, and reduce organic matter from washing into our drinking water supplies on the islands. 🌍💧 Here’s our stunning film - and watch out for some local, Gaelic cows!

Last week I was proud to present the Positive Destination Award on behalf of Scottish Water at the SSF Awards. This award is for a young person who has worked to achieve their goal destination. It was a privilege to be in a room with so many young people focused on improving their lives and giving back to the local community, and to the people at SSF who do fantastic work. Sponsoring this award helps Scottish Water demonstrate supporting young people from disadvantaged backgrounds as part of our Public Sector Equality Duty.

Exciting news! Scottish Water Horizons is partnering up with SSE Energy Solutions to help develop Scotland's low carbon heating capabilities! Inverness has been chosen as the location for the first project under the collaboration, focused on extracting thermal energy from waste water at one of our local pumping stations to supply key buildings in the area. ❔ Did you know that the waste water that runs through our sewers is typically between 6 to 18 degrees celsius? 🚿 This is thanks to the warm water which enters the sewer network from showers, dishwashers and washing machines. The proposed scheme in Inverness will look to harness this residual heat to provide a sustainable heat source for local SSE and Scottish Water bases, as well as other private and public sector buildings in the area.
