NI Water statement: Rathfriland Tower Break-In

17 July 2019 14:31

NI Water can confirm a break-in occurred at Rathfriland Tower and flags were erected without permission. It is believed the outer wall was scaled and the strengthened lock to the tower’s inner steel access door was cut open. Specialist equipment would have been required to carry out this activity. NI Water is liaising with the PSNI. 

We are also organising for repairs to the door to take place and the safe removal of the flags. NI Water is willing to engage with local political and community representatives in relation to this issue.
