Waste water treatment upgrade for Ballaugh

Wed, 21 Jul 2021

Manx Utilities has invested £3 million to complete the upgrade of the 1950s sewerage treatment works in Ballaugh.

The new modern works has been designed to treat waste water in the village to a standard specified by DEFA and in consideration of the adjacent watercourse.

The old works has been removed, modern treatment plant installed and the site landscaped so that once matured the new works will blend into its surroundings and operate unnoticed by the local community.

MU says the treatment units are safer to operate and are similar to those installed for the Regional Sewage Treatment Strategy and include odour control.
