Maughold IRIS Update - Glen Mona
The Water and Sewerage Authority have updated the Commissioners on their investigations into the alternative proposal to treat sewage at the current Glen Mona site rather than installing a pumping facility, access road, and parking on the Dhoon Field. The Environmental Protection Unit has provided Effluent Discharge Consents for a treatment works discharging into a stream above the Rhenab Ford. The investigations demonstrate that a plant could be installed to meet these requirements. The Sewerage Authority will now begin discussions with the landowner. This alternative option will then be assessed against the original proposal. It is anticipated that further details will be released in around three weeks.   ¶ 19:22
