NI Water is appealing to customers in the Coleraine area to bag and bin their bathroom rubbish such as wipes and sanitary items after hundreds of wet wipes recently washed up at Christie Park.

It is not the first time this has happened but NI Water and local Councillor William McCandless are appealing for it to be the last.

NI Water’s Wastewater Network’s Area Manager, Brian Donaghy explained: “Out of sewer flooding at Christie Park is a long standing issue but NI Water can only solve part of the problem.
