Manx Utilities gives update on long-awaited project
The construction of a long-awaited sewage treatment works for Peel is getting underway this week.
It's being built on land close to the Heritage Trail and adjacent to Peel Power Station and will put an end to the pumping of untreated wastewater into the bay.
Manx Utilities says work will start with site preparation, including the stripping of topsoil, setting up the site compound, and installing security fencing.
This will be followed by trenching work in preparation for the diversion of overhead electricity cables.
There will also be some work to improve access to the site, which, it says, is not expected to significantly impact Glenfaba Road users.
Work had been delayed earlier this year due to an appeal against the plans - you can read more on that HERE.
Chair, Douglas North MHK John Wannenburgh, says: "I am pleased to see this long-awaited project move forward, not only for Peel but as part of the final two remaining projects to end the discharge of raw sewage into the sea around our precious coastline."
