Pipelaying work on NI Water's Ballydougan to Newry Trunk Main Scheme has been completed.

Just over 5km of new large diameter water main has been installed to link pumping stations in the wider Newry area with the new reservoir at Crieve.

The latest £6 million NI Water investment forms the third phase of the Ballydougan to Newry Trunk Main Scheme.

Other work being undertaken by NI Water as part of the current package of improvements includes extensive refurbishments at Carnbane Pumping Station, which are almost complete, and a new pumping station at Cullyhanna which has just recently got underway. Chlorination and control equipment at a number of other NI Water sites including Camlough Water Treatment Works, Newry West Service Reservoir, located off the Camlough Road and Camly Service Reservoir located south of Newtownhamilton, are also being upgraded.
