Murphy Dawson Wam JV has commenced a £6.5 million programme of improvements at Caugh Hill Water Treatment Works (WTW) in County L'Derry, on behalf of NI Water.

ARUP will provide management support for the project, which involves upgrading many assets whilst maintaining live operations within the existing Works, such as replacing new pipework and upsizing essential pumps.

Once complete, the investment will benefit approximately 60,000 customers in Feeny, Limavady, Dungiven and the wider surrounding areas by enhancing drinking water quality and the security of the local water supply.

Speaking about the work, Eimear McDaid, NI Water Senior Project Manager, said: "I am delighted to announce that work is underway on this major programme of essential upgrade work, which will improve the security of supply for customers and will also help enhance drinking water quality.

"This complex upgrade will continue while the plant is in operation, ensuring no disruption to our usual water supply services for our customers. 

"Work will continue until 2027 and will improve water services for customers for many years to come. This work will also be particularly important during emergency situations such as extreme weather to help protect essential drinking water supplies."
