Significant progress is being made on a sewerage improvement project at Castle Park Pumping station in Bangor.

Dawson WAM was appointed by NI Water as the main contractor to carry out the work.

The new pumping station forms part of a major capital works programme in the Bangor area to improve the local sewerage infrastructure and pumping stations.

The current phase of the programme involves the replacement of the existing wastewater pumping station at Castle Park along with the upgrade of sewers in the area.

Grahame Millar, Head of Wastewater Capital Delivery at NI Water, said: "Improving and maintaining our sewerage infrastructure in a fit-for-purpose state is an investment priority for NI Water.

"This major investment will improve the sewerage infrastructure and reduce the risk of out-of-sewer flooding. It will also improve water quality and help facilitate future development, all of which are vitally important to this area. These improvements will deliver benefits for the local community and the tourism industry in Bangor for many years to come.

"As the project is progressing well, we anticipate that this phase of work at Castle Park will be completed by the autumn of this year."
