The two-year scheme has comprised the construction of a new two-stage wastewater treatment works, the building or refurbishment of 16 pumping stations, the laying of 25km of pipelines and the construction of a new 1.2km long sea outfall.
Extensive works covered coastal and inland sites linked over an area of 450sq/km.
It forms one of NI Water’s largest ever single capital investment projects and was undertaken to meet current envionmental regulations and improve the quality of bathing waters around one of Northern Ireland's premier tourist resorts.
The award follows on from the success of the Newtownards Model Primary School redevelopment project in the Construction Restoration Category, last year.
