"The contractor in this case has been working with the local community to minimise disruption during work to improve water pressure and the quality of the water supply.

"This work is part of a much-needed investment in the water infrastructure. NI Water has made it crystal clear that this work isn't about installing water meters. The threats against the workers must be condemned and should be lifted immediately."
