Over the past few weeks there have been reports from across the Dargavel development with regards to occasional loss of water pressure. One of our Committee members contacted Scottish Water and requested that they test the water pressure as we were fairly certain it was an issue within the overall supply to the development rather than a problem specific to an individual developer.
Scottish Water installed a water logger on one of the hydrants within the village and after a week’s testing this came back positive for a problem. After testing the infrastructure within the estate they were unable to identify any particular issues within Dargavel but the problem was traced to a defective pressure reducing valve at the connection to the main supply at Old Greenock Road. This has now been replaced and after further testing Scottish Water are satisfied that the water pressure is now back to normal and we should not suffer any further outages/low pressure.
