The work, located off the Portaferry Road, will be carried out between November 2020 and April 2021 and will see the replacement of ageing assets to provide a more robust wastewater treatment solution for the village.
The £2.2m investment will also see work carried out at Watermeade Wastewater Pumping Station (WwPS), located off the Newtownards Road, which is programmed to get underway early next year.
The latest phase of work follows on from a series of rehabilitation works recently carried out on the sewerage network in Greyabbey. Collectively the improvements will enhance the local environment and build on other recently completed NI Water projects to improve the quality of water in Strangford Lough.

Michael Donnelly, NI Water Project Manager, said: "This significant phase of the improvements, which will get underway at the end of October and complete in spring 2021, will see the installation of new technologies and modern equipment – including fine screens – at the village’s wastewater treatment works and main pumping station, which will enhance the water quality in Strangford Lough.
"We have already undertaken a programme of network improvements in Greyabbey to reline sewers and repair manholes in advance of this next phase of work getting underway. The investment being made at the local wastewater treatment works and pumping station will augment that work and result in a more robust wastewater network for the village.
"NI Water and our contractor DLG/Jacopa would like to thank residents and the wider public for their patience and cooperation while we continue with these essential improvements and will do everything possible to keep disruption to a minimum. Residents located in the vicinity of Greyabbey WwTW have been advised about the forthcoming work and those near Watermeade WwPS will be notified before any work gets underway there."
