NI Water has started work on a new wastewater pumping station at Clabby Road, Fivemiletown.
The £500,000 project will involve replacing the existing pumping station to increase capacity and allow for future development in the area.
The work will involve the construction of a new underground wastewater pumping station on the same site as the existing station, along with the replacement of a small section of sewage pumping main and associated improvements.
Peter Ferguson, NI Water Project Manager said:
“The new Pumping Station is good news for customers in the local area, it will reduce the likelihood of out of sewer flooding and bring about environmental benefits in the area, improving water quality in the local watercourse.
NI Water’s project team including GRAHAM Construction and AECOM is carrying out the work, which is scheduled for completion by Summer 2016.
Regional Development Minister Michelle McIlveen commented:
“I welcome this £500,000 investment, which when complete will improve the sewerage infrastructure and wastewater services for customers. The scheme will also ensure that NI Water continues to meet Northern Ireland Environment Agency standards.”
