“NI Water is continuing to deliver the best ever drinking water quality and the upgrade completed here at Carmoney is just one example of the many projects being undertaken to improve services to our customers and deliver a modern 21st century infrastructure to Northern Ireland.

“The improvements made at the plant will also ensure that it operates more efficiently and will continue to meet Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) and European standards.”
