£5.5 million Pipeline Underway to Benefit Water Supply Infrastructure in Pomeroy/Carrickmore Area
01 May 2025 15:00
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 about to get underway.
This major improvement scheme will commence on the 6th May 2025 and 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 to enhance drinking water quality.
The work will involve pipelaying along the Termon Road area of Carrickmore in early May for approximately 8 months and will require 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:
“I am delighted to announce that this major £5.5m Water Infrastructure Improvement scheme will get underway, which involves improving the essential water supply system for the Pomeroy and Carrickmore areas of County Tyrone, which will ensure the ongoing provision of high-quality water to our customers in the area.
“NI Water and our contractor Farrans Glanua JV appreciate that work of this nature can be disruptive and would like to thank the public for their continued patience and cooperation as this essential improvement scheme gets underway. The work will help deliver a more resilient, improved water supply network and help safeguard the local water supply for many years to come.”
Further notifications will be issued as the works progress to keep local residents and business owners informed of key dates.
ENDS.
