The company will invest £4m in improvements to its water water network to reduce the risk of flooding in the Avonspark Street area.
In total, 12 properties in Avonspark Street and one in Edgefauld Road have experienced recurring problems with internal and external flooding for a number of years.

Amey Black & Veatch (aBV), Scottish Water's delivery partners, will install a 2,500 cubic metre capacity storm water storage tank in the sewer network to alleviate the surcharging of the system.
The tank will be 20m in diameter and 16m below ground level.
The project will also include the construction of large diameter manholes and new pipework in Avonspark Street and Edgefauld Road.
The work will be completed in approximately 16 months.
The scheme is part of a £250m, five year programme of work to improve river water quality and the natural environment of the River Clyde.
