Transcript

00:00I'm delighted to be on site today to see the improvements made at the replacement

00:09Avish water pumping station located within our Carmoni water treatment works.

00:13The recently completed phase one represents three and a half million

00:18investment in the overall Carmoni to Strabane strategic main. This is an

00:23essential water supply system that will ensure the resilience and ongoing

00:27provision of high quality water to customers in the northwest. The critical

00:32water pumping station is needed to improve operational flexibility,

00:36increase the resilience and robustness of the network and provide connectivity

00:40between our resource zones serving the wider Derry, Londonderry and Strabane

00:45areas. Work on the strategic connections between resource zones is essential to

00:51ensure security of the water supply for our customers particularly in the event

00:56of an emergency situation. We appreciate the support of local landowners in

01:01helping us to progress the overall scheme which will deliver an improved

01:05water supply network. Finally I would like to thank the NI Water project team

01:09for their hard work and our partners the main contractor Murphy Dawson One and

01:15project managers Macadam Design.
