Burgh Yard Monifieth Sewer Upgrades

Project Overview
Scottish Water is carrying out essential work in Monifieth to maintain and improve the long-term efficiency of the local sewer network.
In June 2026, the initial phase of the project involved site investigations to help us gain a clear understanding of the extent and nature of the proposed route of work.
This phase has now been completed and the information gathered will help inform a wider programme of works expected to take place later this year.
The overall project is being delivered by Morrison Construction.

What We Are Doing
In June 2026, we carried out a series of site investigations, including small excavations known as trial holes, at five locations across the area. These included points around the park, Riverview Drive, South Union Street, the car park east of the play park and National Cycle Route 1.
The investigations have now been completed and will provide valuable information about ground conditions and the potential route for future works.
Temporary traffic management and access arrangements were required at some locations while the investigations were carried out safely. Throughout the work, local businesses, including Tayview Caravan & Camping Park, remained open as usual.
Why We Are Doing It
These investigations were an important step in helping us better understand the area and the work that may be required in the future.
The information gathered will help inform a wider programme of works currently being developed. We expect to provide further updates on these plans later this year.
