Lagan Construction has completed work on the new St Andrew's Pumping Station in Temple, Co Antrim.
The new Station is a key part of the recently completed £14 million Castor Bay-Belfast Water Pipeline for customers in Belfast and the wider Lisburn area.
The scheme, which got underway in January 2014 involved laying almost 19miles (30kilometres) of water pipeline from Castor Bay Water Treatment Works in Craigavon to south Lisburn, where the pipeline links into an existing trunk main to transport the water supply on to Belfast.
Two new water pumping stations at St Andrews and Sprucefield were also completed, as well as the re-commissioning of several local service reservoirs.
Sara Venning NI Water Chief Executive, said: "This investment is good news, as it will improve the security of the water supply infrastructure, as well as improving drinking water quality, reducing leakage, whilst ensuring that NI Water continues to comply with the relevant EU directives.
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank our customers and local representatives for their patience and cooperation throughout the overall project."
