Pumping station replacement plans

MUA wants to replace Victorian facility in Ramsey

The Manx Utilities Authority has applied for permission to replace a Victorian pumping station in Ramsey.

 

In a planning application, the MUA says the Vollan Pump Station on Mooragh Promenade is at the end of its lifespan – it was built in 1889 and last refurbished 30 years ago.

 

And according to the MUA, replacing the structure would mean the end of untreated sewage being pumped into the sea off the coast of Ramsey.

 

You can find out more about the plans, and have your say on them, on the government’s website gov.im
