NI Water has visited a school in Craigavon to deliver site safety advice to the local children.

The utility and contractors Meridian, who are working on £2.4 million water main upgrades in Lurgan, talked to the children at King's Park Primary School about the issues.

Maurice Crawford, NI Water's Project Manager, said: "NI Water are always keen to spread the 'play safe, stay safe' message within local communities, especially where we are carrying out significant programmes of work like the current £2.4 million investment to upgrade the watermains in Lurgan.

"Many of the children in the area will be aware of the work and the team were delighted to talk to the children about the project and to make sure they are aware of the dangers of playing in or near construction sites or machinery.

"The visit was a great opportunity for NI Water to also talk about the importance of water and the little measures everyone can take to save water. The children listened so attentively and impressed us with their knowledge on the use of water!"
