DUP MLA Thomas Buchanan asked the Regional Development Minister (DRD) Danny Kennedy whether the Department’s Asset Management Unit (AMU) had completed plans for the replacement of the water mains network on the Berryhill Road, Donemana.

He explained: “I have been advised by Northern Ireland Water (NIW) that it has an on-going multi-million pound water mains rehabilitation programme that includes network modelling and assessments, solution development and ultimately project delivery.

“The upgrade of the network in Berryhill Road has been included as one element of this programme but work is unlikely to commence until the 2013/14 financial year.

“NIW is currently engaged in developing working drawings to allow the project to commence on site when funding becomes available.”
