NI Water is about to commence a £7.8 million programme of work at Meadow Lane, Portadown to upgrade the wastewater infrastructure to reduce the risk of out of sewer flooding, whilst supporting local development and delivering extensive environmental improvements in the area.
The work will involve a major upgrade at Meadow Lane Wastewater Pumping Station (WwPS), the provision of a sizeable new stormwater storage tank at the WwPS site and the laying of new large diameter sewers, mainly by means of underground tunnelling.
The work will be undertaken in phases and is expected to take around two years to complete.
