The Killyhevlin Water Treatment Works have got underway, which will see the construction of a new clear water storage tank on site and a new Pumping Station.
These Enniskillen works will allow for a future increase in water supply demands.
Dawson WAM is the main contractor for this major programme of work with Capita providing Project Management and technical support.
Paul Davison Head of Water Capital Procurement at NI Water said: "We are delighted that this major investment at Killyhevlin Water Treatment Works is now well underway, which will bring many improvements to our customers, including improved water quality and security of the water supply for our customers.

"The Killyhevlin plant treats water from the River Erne and supplies around 36 million litres of water per day to Fermanagh and the Clogher Valley.
"This upgrade will be particularly important during winter periods and other emergency situations and will help us to continue to deliver a world-class water service to the Fermanagh and Clogher Valley region."
The Chair of Fermanagh and Omagh District Council Councillor Siobhan Currie added: "The Council welcomes this major investment here at Killyhevlin, which will greatly improve services for NI Water customers throughout County Fermanagh. I was impressed to see great construction progress at the new water storage tank, which will protect the local water infrastructure."
