Water treatment process in Scotland ends

A treatment process has been completed in Scotland to give local customers a high standard of water quality.

Panton McLeod has finished draining millions of litres of liquid from a water treatment tank, Processing Talk reported.

It also removed residual natural materials from the tank so that the water quality supplied to local residents remains high.

The news provider reported team supervisor at Panton McLeod Nigel Owen as saying: "These structures need to be cleaned regularly to ensure that the drinking water stored in them remains as pure as possible."

He added that while the natural build-up of materials does not pose a risk to those who drink the liquid, "it is important to remove it so that there is no turbidity in the water supply".

Earlier this summer, Panton McLeod confirmed its plans to expand its services in Kent, which the water quality engineering firm said would ensure the country's supplies were kept to a high standard, Water Active reported.
