Northern Ireland Water has called on councillors to put pressure on their party headquarters to get Stormont up and running amid fears the sewage system cannot cope without major investment.
Water chiefs provided a report to Newry, Mourne and Down District Council (NMDDC) on Monday night detailing a six year £2.2bn plan requiring Stormont action.
The council was told that without the investment Northern Ireland’s need for 15,000 new houses by 2030 would be a mere pipe dream.
