NI Water is pleased to announce that a major Water Infrastructure Improvement Scheme, which will benefit customers throughout the Pomeroy/Carrickmore area of County Tyrone is progressing well.
This major improvement scheme, which got underway in early May, will continue until January 2027.
This £5.5m investment is good news for customers in the local area, as the upgraded water infrastructure will improve the security of the local water supply and will help enhance drinking water quality.
Pipelaying is currently underway along the Termon Road area of Carrickmore under a lane closure. The works will then progress onto the following roads in the wider area:
- Tremogue Road
- Loughmallon Road
- Devesky Road
- Creggan Road
- Tiroony Road
- Whitebridge Road
The work will be completed in sections to keep disruption to a minimum. Please note access will be maintained at all times for residents who live within the works area.
Gary Mc Fadden, NI Water Project Manager said:
