Work on a new storm sewer for the newly developed Windsor Park Stadium and Olympia Leisure Centre in Belfast has been completed two weeks ahead of schedule.

NI Water said the work will also improve the sewerage infrastructure in the area, increasing the capacity of the existing combined sewers, particularly during periods of heavy rainfall.

Approximately £600,000 was invested in the scheme.

Grahame Millar, NI Water Project Sponsor, said: "We appreciate that this was a disruptive time in the area and NI Water would like to sincerely thank the local residents and businesses for their patience and co-operation throughout this challenging project. The overall programme of work will improve the sewerage infrastructure in the area whilst facilitating these two major developments for the area and the wider NI public."
