A programme of essential sewer investigation work has been announced in Portrush.

Work will get underway in the Kerr Street Area on Monday 21 February 2022 which will involve CCTV surveys and cleaning of the sewerage system from existing manholes on Kerr Street and within the harbour area. It is expected to take two weeks to complete.

NI Water and its contractor AG Wilson Ltd are delivering the scheme under normal working hours between 8am and 6pm. The utility has been liaising closely with Causeway Coast & Glens Borough Council and the work has been programmed to take place outside the busy tourist periods.

Traffic management arrangements will be in place to minimise the impact of the work on residents, businesses and road users. In order to undertake the works safely, it will be necessary to temporarily remove a number of car parking spaces at different locations as the works move along Kerr Street. Vehicular access for residents will be maintained as far as possible, but could be subject to slight delays, and pedestrian access will be available at all times.
