NI Water is to host a 'drop in' information session for the local community and businesses to discuss the second phase of a Sewer Rehabilitation Programme in Donaghadee, Co Down.

The event will be held in Donaghadee Community Centre on Thursday 21 April from 4pm to 7pm.

Work is expected to start on the programme this month.

The work in Donaghadee is part of NI Water's ongoing Sewerage Rehabilitation Programme, to improve an ageing sewerage network across Northern Ireland over a period of six years. It will involve essential sewer improvement work which was identified under the investigation work carried out in Stage 1 of the project. The work may include localised repairs, the installation of 'liners' in existing sewers, replacing sewers which are beyond their natural lifespan as well as other associated work. Where possible, the work will be carried out using specialist 'no-dig' or 'low-dig' methods which are designed to minimise disruption and duration of the work. However it will be necessary at some locations to re-lay pipes by traditional 'open-dig' methods.

The Stage 2 works will be carried out at the following locations in the Donaghadee area: Northfield Road, Killaughey Road, Millisle Road, High Street and New Street.
