A new water treatment works (WTW)
that will serve three small communi-
ties in North Harris was delivered by
sea to one of the island's most spec-
tacular beaches at the end of July.
The new Scottish Water plant was
loaded on to a specialised barge at
Kishorn, before crossing the Minch
and sailing through the Sound of
Harris to lie offshore at Huisinis. In
ideal weather conditions, the delivery
on to the beach was achieved ahead of
schedule at high tide on the evening
of 22 July, before a final short journey
by road to its long-term home, west of
the Gobhaig road junction.
The new WTW is the central ele-
ment of a £4.5 million investment to
