AQW 27514/22-27 – Propriety of contracts at NI Water

Mr Patsy McGlone (Mid Ulster): To ask the Minister for Infrastructure for an update on progress to appoint an independent specialist electrical engineer to investigate the propriety of a number of contracts at NI Water.

Minister for Infrastructure: The issue you have raised is an operational matter for NI Water; however, I have sought the required information.

NI Water has advised that it has appointed an independent electrical engineer to provide a technical opinion on the quality of electrical repairs or installation work completed by contractors. This review work is currently underway and expected to be concluded by July 2025.

For any future queries relating to operational matters, you should contact NI Water directly, through the Elected Representatives Hotline on 0345 300 6461 or through waterline@niwater.com.

Making direct contact with NI Water will ensure that you receive the information in the shortest possible timeframe and make best use of limited public resources.
