The construction of a large civil engineering project brings tremendous opportunities to schools, colleges and Universities. During the life of the Glencorse Water Treatment Works Project, Scottish Water plans to maximise this opportunity to the benefit of local schools and students.

We are currently working with three primary schools in the Penicuik area - Cornbank, Glencorse and Mauricewood Primary. In the 08/09 session we have undertaken a number of activities such as classroom lessons, construction activities and site visits. The focus for this year has been Health & Safety in Construction. You can read more about the activities by clicking on the individual schools pages below.

We will continue our work with schools until the commissioning of the water treatment works in 2011. Over the next few years we will cover topics such as the water treatment process and environmental issues relating to water. Pupils will have the opportunity to come out to the site and see the progress each year until the completion of the treatment works.
