NI Water is reminding customers that work is now underway on a £2 million investment to improve and upgrade the watermains network in the North Down area.

Works along the A2 Bangor/Belfast Road will commence at the Old Quay Road and will be completed in sections, finishing at the Ballyrobert Road. These works will take place between the hours of 7pm on a Friday and 6am on a Monday (working over a 24 hour period) over 20 consecutive weekends, in order to avoid disruption to weekday traffic flow. Traffic lane restrictions will be required to facilitate the works however, two-way traffic will be maintained at all times.

NI Water and its contractor Lagan Construction have completed letter drops in affected areas to advise residents of this work, and these will be followed up with more detailed weekly update letters to customers immediately adjacent to the work areas. We would like to thank customers and the traveling public in advance for their co-operation and patience during this essential improvement work. There will be increased noise and construction traffic in the area which will result in some disruption while this work takes place, but we would like to assure customers that every effort will be made to keep it to a minimum.
