Views Sought on Major Bioresources Upgrade Project for Glasgow

04 June 2026
The existing sludge treatment facility at Daldowie

Major investment

The proposals would see the existing sludge treatment facility in Daldowie upgraded with state-of-the-art technology.

Scottish Water is seeking feedback on proposals for a multi-million pound replacement of its bioresources treatment plant in Daldowie. 
 
A drop-in public consultation event will be held on Wednesday, June 17, at the community wing of Newton Farm Primary School in Cambuslang between 4pm and 7.30pm for the local community to find out more about the plans, meet the project team, ask questions and share feedback. 
 
The proposed investment will see the construction of a state-of-the-art bioresource treatment centre on land adjacent to the existing sludge treatment facility at Daldowie.  
 
The new centre will replace ageing assets at the site with modern technology designed to treat bioresource from households across Scotland's Central Belt to an extremely high quality standard, as well as accommodating planned growth, greatly improving carbon efficiency and reducing operating costs. 
 
Scottish Water Project Lead, Fraser Simpson, said: "This is one of the most significant investments Scottish Water has undertaken, and it is vital that local residents and stakeholders have the opportunity to find out more about our proposals and share their views. 
 
"The new bioresource treatment centre at Daldowie will replace ageing infrastructure with modern, innovative technology that will dramatically reduce carbon emissions, generate renewable energy and produce a high-quality product that can be recycled to agricultural land.  
 
“We encourage anyone with an interest to come along to one of our information events, where our project team will be on hand to answer questions and hear feedback." 
 
 A second event will be held in August, with a planning application expected to be submitted later in the year.
