Significant progress has been made to upgrade the Galgorm Wastewater Pumping Station in Co Antrim.

A total of £1.2million is being invested in the project and Graham Construction is currently working on site.

Children from the Gracehill & Galgorm Community playgroup also recently visited the site where they learned all about the importance of water and site safety and prepared handprints to adorn the hoarding of the construction site.

Peter Ferguson, NI Water project manager for the Galgorm Wastewater Pumping Station upgrade said: "We are delighted to have had the opportunity to visit Gracehill & Galgorm Community Playgroup recently to highlight the importance of water and looking after the environment to local children. These are our future generations who will benefit from investments such as this million pound upgrade at Galgorm Wastewater Pumping Station, and it’s great to have their handprints on display at the site.

"We are grateful to the playgroup for their involvement in the planting and to Councillor Audrey Wales MBE for representing Mid and East Antrim Borough Council here today. I would like to thank the local community for their patience and cooperation throughout the construction period."
