Major project to improve water supply in Pomeroy and Carrickmore

WORK began today on a new £5.5m scheme which NI Water said will improve life for people in the Pomeroy and Carrickmore areas of Tyrone.

Work on the Water Infrastructure Improvement Scheme for the region will continue until January 2027.

The work will involve pipelaying along the Termon Road area of Carrickmore for approximately eight months and will require a lane closure.

The works will then progress onto the following roads in the wider area:

Tremogue Road

Loughmallon Road

Devesky Road

Creggan Road

Tiroony Road

Whitebridge Road

NI Water said the work will be completed in sections to keep disruption to a minimum. Access will be maintained at all times for residents who live within the works area.

Gary Mc Fadden, NI Water Project Manager said: “I am delighted to announce that this major £5.5m Water Infrastructure Improvement scheme will get underway, which involves improving the essential water supply system for the Pomeroy and Carrickmore areas of County Tyrone, which will ensure the ongoing provision of high-quality water to our customers in the area.

“NI Water and our contractor Farrans Glanua JV appreciate that work of this nature can be disruptive and would like to thank the public for their continued patience and cooperation as this essential improvement scheme gets underway.

“The work will help deliver a more resilient, improved water supply network and help safeguard the local water supply for many years to come.”
