Peel Commissioners were divided last night as they discussed the new sewage treatment plant in the Sunset City.
Despite widespread public opposition, board members were evenly split about whether to support the scheme, which would see an open works built near the power station.
Both sides put their views forward at the meeting but, in the end, the debate required the casting vote of the chairman, Rodger Gimbert, who voted against.
He explained how the voting went:
Dates for rebranded Isle of Man Food and Drink Festival announced
'The Big Manx Feast' will return in September next year
Treasury eyes tougher immigration rules to tackle 'risks' facing system
Higher pay requirements and stricter dependant policies to be reviewed by Council of Ministers
Business confidence cools as costs climb and demand outlook weakens, survey finds

MHKs challenge MiCard scrap after constitutent dissatisfaction
Claims of 'pressure selling' and a political 'scramble' emerge
