Hundreds of staff will walk out over the weekend in action that began on Friday, with strikes planned over 48 days in the next three months.
Scotland’s Government-owned water company has been accused of holding workers’ pay raises “to ransom” as industrial action begins.
Speaking to the PA news agency at the company’s wastewater treatment plant in Shieldhall, Glasgow, Ms McArthur said: “We’re on strike because Scottish Water is basically holding our cost-of-living rise to ransom. “We are teetering on the brink of a potential disaster for our network by going out on strike – we don’t want to do that,. Scottish Water is the unseen utility – you don’t know it’s there until it’s not.
“We are committed to maintaining our high levels of customer service during this dispute and are confident that those staff members who do not strike will be ready, willing and able to help ensure we do so.
