NI Water says 'the full scale of wastewater issues will realistically take at least 12 to 18 years'
A foul odour near Cultra, which has caused a wave of complaints from residents, has been identified as waste water leaking into Belfast Lough.
Local Councillor Martin McRandal said: “Residents were affected as a result of this blockage. I want to thank constituents who got in touch with myself and I also want to thank NI Water for acting once informed of the issues. NI Water said: “We have for some time been advising of the issues across Northern Ireland arising from historic underinvestment in our wastewater infrastructure. We will invest £2.2 billion during PC21, with over £1bn being invested in wastewater assets.
Andrew Muir MLA stated "I am pleased to see NI Water taking action to address the recurrent flooding concerns in the Rugby Avenue area of Bangor. These are the right steps being taken by NI Water to reassure residents and businesses within the area.
