N.I Water Invests £10m in Rural Areas

Northern Ireland Water (NI Water) has announced a two-year, £10 million investment package to carry out improvement works at a number of minor wastewater treatment facilities across rural parts of Northern Ireland.

During the Rural Wastewater Investment Programme, NI Water will undertake a widespread portfolio of work to upgrade processes at wastewater treatment works, which serve villages or communities with a population of less than 300.

Work on the scheme will be carried out through a joint venture by local companies - BSG Civil Engineering, Williams Industrial Services and McAdam Design.

Launching the extensive programme of work, Trevor Haslett, NI Water’s Director of Engineering Procurement said:

"NI Water is pleased to work with some of the best home-grown talent on this scheme. Local organisations are investing heavily in developing new technologies and processes to increase efficiency and improve their competitiveness in the market place. "
