Essential Water Upgrade Work in the Pipeline for the Foyle Road Area

Essential Water Upgrade Work in the Pipeline for the Foyle Road Area

27 June 2024 16:02

NI Water is pleased to announce an essential Water Improvement Scheme which is scheduled to get underway in the Foyle Road area on the 22nd July for approximately 11 weeks. The work will involve pipelaying along the Foyle / Letterkenny Road (A40), from the east entrance of Coshowen, proceeding 500 metres along the Foyle Road to the junction with Lone Moor Road.

A lane closure will be in place for the duration of the scheme and work will be completed in sections to keep disruption to a minimum. Signage and traffic management will be in place throughout the route with local access maintained at all times.

This investment is good news for customers in the local area, as this key improvement scheme will improve water services for our customers, including the security of the local water supply.

Notifications will be issued as the works progress to keep local residents and business owners informed of key dates.

The project team appreciates the co-operation of the wider public in ensuring that children do not play in or around any site or machinery. Working areas will have warning signs in place to protect the public from any hazards. The public are advised to stay out of these working areas for their own safety.

NI Water and our contractor Farrans Glanua would like to thank the public in advance for their patience and cooperation and we will do everything possible to minimise disruption wherever possible.

ENDS.
