Graham Construction and Aecom has completed work on a new Wastewater Pumping Station in Fivemiletown, Co Tyrone.

NI Water appointed the contractors to carry out the work on Clabby Road. The scheme involved replacing the existing Pumping Station to increase capacity and allow for future development in the area.

The new underground Wastewater Pumping Station was developed on the same site as the existing station and a section of sewage pumping main close to the station was also replaced as part of the investment.

Peter Ferguson, NI Water Senior Project Manager, said: "The new Pumping Station and associated improvements are good news for customers in the local area, as the project will reduce the likelihood of out of sewer flooding and bring about environmental benefits in the area, such as improving water quality in the local watercourse."

Infrastructure Minister Chris Hazzard added: "This £500,000 investment is good news for people in the Fivemiletown area. It will greatly improve their sewerage infrastructure and wastewater services. The completion of this scheme will also ensure that NI Water meets key environmental standards."
