"The important pipe installation work is part of the Glasgow Resilience Project, which involves the installation of seven miles of new pipes to connect the Glasgow area’s water network and the system in Ayrshire.
"This will increase resilience and protect supplies for about one million customers."
The new water main is being installed in the Ibrox, Mosspark, Pollok, Priesthill, Nitshill and Parkhouse areas of Glasgow.
The project is being delivered for Scottish Water by Caledonia Water Alliance and is expected to be completed in 2023.
