The investment includes improvements to the quality of the Barbauchlaw Burn, a tributary of the Avon, which itself flows into the Forth at Kinniel near Grangemouth.

Bill Elliot, Scottish Water's regional community manager for West Lothian, said: "A stronger, cleaner River Avon is good for everyone."
