Water utility in Glendale Operated by Scottish Water, this installation is beside the B884 road and just below the summit of the pass between Colbost and the village of Glendale, over the shoulder of Beinn Tobhtaig (Ben Totaig).  Water to supply the local communities is normally in sufficient supply from the local hills, but in dry spells it has to be supplemented by road tankers which discharge to an intake at the summit.
