Infrastructure Minister John O’Dowd welcomed the news: “This £1.3 million investment is good news for customers in the Ards Peninsula area. This key improvement scheme will protect and future-proof the local water infrastructure for customers, businesses and tourism in the area. Enhanced security of water supply will provide a more reliable service for people in the area which is to be welcomed.”
