Sewage treatment strategy gets £23.5 million

Unanimous Tynwald approval

Tynwald has unanimously approved spending of around £23,500,000 for the Manx Utilities Authority to complete the regional sewage treatment strategy.

A site at Peel has been identified for a treatment plant, but discussions continue at Baldrine and Laxey.

The aim is to stop raw sewage being pumped into the Irish Sea.

MU Chair Dr Alex Allinson says the vote now means things can get moving.
