As schools across Northern Ireland go on their Easter holidays, Northern Ireland Water (NI Water) is reminding children and parents to stay safe around areas of construction.
The safety message comes as NI Water continues sewer improvement work on Roemill Road.
The work is part of long-term plans to improve local infrastructure, reduce the environmental impact of wastewater services in the area and allow for future development.
Project Manager, Nigel McKee said:
“Understandably some children are drawn to construction sites as exciting places to explore, but they are not playgrounds and playing on them can have dangerous consequences.
Where work is carried out, safety barriers, fencing and signage will be put in place to warn people that construction is in operation. However we would urge parents to help us maintain public safety by explaining to their children the dangers connected to playing around construction zones.”
If any member of the public has any questions relating to this or would like to request further information, they can contact NI Water’s customer relations team via Waterline on 08457 440088.
