To ask the Scottish Government what plans there are to ensure that the research being undertaken by Scottish Water and local authorities to assess sewer and drainage networks is kept up to date in the future.
Scottish Water and Local Authorities are working together to understand how sewerage and drainage networks operate at times of heavy rainfall. This work is enabling them to assess the performance of sewerage and drainage networks whether these be for the day to day management of the networks, the planning of investment or the enabling of new connections.
The models and plans resulting from these studies are updated periodically to ensure that they remain up to date.
