Seaton Burn Wastewater Improvements

Project Overview

We're investing up to £1 million in the Seaton Burn area over the next five years to help improve local waterways and reduce the number of storm overflow spills into Seaton Burn.

As part of this work, we're carrying out surveys to better understand how the wastewater network operates today. The information we gather will help us identify the most effective improvements for the area.

While plans are still being developed, potential solutions may include:

🟦 separating rainwater from the wastewater network where possible

🟦 creating natural rainwater storage areas

🟦 installing features such as rain gardens and tree pits

🟦 upgrading existing drainage infrastructure where needed

These improvements will help manage rainwater more effectively, reduce pressure on the network during wet weather, and support better water quality in local rivers and streams.
