Ballylone Reservoir Now On Tap

[/caption] Almost £1 million was invested in this new reservoir, which has a capacity of approximately 5.6 mega litres. This is the equivalent to the amount of water needed to fill approximately 2 Olympic size swimming pools. Rowallene Councillor Billie Walker said, “I welcome this improvement to our local water infrastructure. It will help to enhance the water quality, and with an increasing population in recent years as seen by the number of new housing developments in the Crossgar and Killyleagh area, it is reassuring to see this project completed and in service.” Project Manager Gary Mc Fadden added, “We are delighted to announce the completion of the new Ballylone Reservoir. Almost £1 million was invested in this project, which will improve the security and flexibility of water supply for over 5000 customers in the local area. “This project is just one example of the level of investment required to improve water and wastewater services throughout Northern Ireland.” The contractor for the Ballylone Reservoir Project was Lagan Construction, with McAdam Design as Designers and Capita Symonds as Project Managers.]]>
