NI Water Workers Threatened For Second Time In 24 Hours

NI Water employees have been threatened for a second time in Belfast.

Staff working in the Glen Road area were threatened on Wednesday night.

Sinn Féin MLA Carál Ní Chuilín said: "Workers received threats when they were working in Rosapenna St in North Belfast.


"The contractor in this case has been working with the local community to minimise disruption during work to improve water pressure and the quality of the water supply.

"This work is part of a much-needed investment in the water infrastructure. NI Water has made it crystal clear that this work isn't about installing water meters. The threats against the workers must be condemned and should be lifted immediately."
