What happened so far?
In 2020, We sought the public’s views on two of our much-loved and well-visited beauty spots in the Milngavie area of East Dunbartonshire; Craigmaddie and Mugdock reservoirs.
The consultation, which was launched online, encouraged people with an interest in these two Scottish Water assets to give their views and help inform future plans for investment. More than 1,000 people took part in this consultation and you can find out more below in the 'consultations document' section of this web page.
Following on from this consultation, regular investment has taken place across Milngavie Reservoirs with improvements being made to the site operations and visitor experience.
A ranger service has been introduced at the site, with a defibrillator and a Scottish Water Top Up Tap also being installed with further enhancements to come.
