Dugannon Water Mains Works Complete

A £3m project to upgrade Dungannon's water infrastructure has been completed by Northern Ireland's water body.

NI Water's work stretched to Coalisland as part of a massive water mains rehabilitation scheme, which upgraded 42km of pipes over the past year.

Project Manger, Gary Lawther said the project signals wider success: "NI Water is working hard to roll out its 'Water Mains Rehabilitation Programme' right across Northern Ireland.

"The successful implementation of the sub scheme in Dungannon and Coalisand is a very positive indicator of the success we can expect in other towns and cities," he said.

"Northern Ireland has an aging water infrastructure and it is paramount this is addressed to secure supply for the future and improve water quality.

"NI Water would like to thank local residents in Coalisand and Dungannon for co-operating with us and our contractor, Enterprise Farrans, while this essential work was carried out."

Mayor of Dungannon, Robert Mulligan said that many people will benefit from the upgrade scheme.

"This is a welcome development for Dungannon and the surrounding area.

"The overhaul of the local water infrastructure is advantageous for households, businesses and tourism and will deliver enhanced water quality, system capacity and service provision."
