NI Water is progressing work on a £5.7 million water improvement scheme which will be essential to the future resilience of the water supply infrastructure for customers in the South Down area.
The water company has recently completed work on a major river crossing on the Upper River Bann with essential pipelaying now continuing.
The work will continue in phases and the overall scheme will be completed in early 2025.
Eimear McDaid, NI Water Project Manager said:
“We are delighted to announce that this major Water Improvement Scheme is progressing well and will greatly improve the robustness and resilience of the water supply infrastructure in South Down.
“This key improvement scheme will protect and future-proof the local water infrastructure for customers in Castlewellan, Fofanny and beyond.
“Enhanced security of water supply will provide a more reliable service for people in the area and will be particularly important during extreme weather conditions and other unplanned events to ensure maximum security of supply for our customers.”
