NI Water is starting work today on a major water infrastructure improvement scheme in the Pomeroy/Carrickmore Area of County Tyrone which will continue until January 2027.

The £5.5 million investment in the upgraded water infrastructure will improve the security of the local water supply and help to enhance drinking water quality.

The work will involve pipelaying along the Termon Road area of Carrickmore in early May for approximately 8 months and will require a lane closure before the works progress in the wider area.

“NI Water’s contractor Farrans Glanua JV are carrying out the work, which will be completed in sections to keep disruption to a minimum.

Gary Mc Fadden, NI Water Project Manager said:

“I am delighted to announce that this major £5.5m Water Infrastructure Improvement scheme will get underway, which involves improving the essential water supply system for the Pomeroy and Carrickmore areas of County Tyrone, which will ensure the ongoing provision of high-quality water to our customers in the area.

“The work will help deliver a more resilient, improved water supply network and help safeguard the local water supply for many years to come.”
