AQW 2115/22-27 – Drinking water piping

Mr Patsy McGlone (Mid Ulster): To ask the Minister for Infrastructure (i) what areas in Northern Ireland have drinking water piped to homes using lead piping; and (ii) what plans his Department has to upgrade this piping.

Minister for Infrastructure: The status of areas in Northern Ireland which have drinking water piped to homes using lead piping is an operational matter for NI Water as is the plans to upgrade this piping. You should, therefore, direct your question to NI Water at waterline@niwater.com .
