Rob, does the approval of funding allow for the increase in population to 100K as outlined in the CMs strategy for growth? Or are these new residents not expected to wee & poo?

Perhaps we’re missing a trick and there is a big gap in the market to attract new residents? We should maybe only be looking for those who wear colostomy bags who want to move here as a lifestyle choice?

The fascination with cruise and coach trips shows who we market the island at.

Colostomy bags have to be emptied. Do you imagine people with colostomy bags store their contents in jars around the house, similar to Howard Hughes?

we should only be attracting the under 40's.

But what's that got to do with colostomy bags?

I'm afraid your arguement is flawed.

Firstly pumping it all to Meary Veg would require an enormous amount of electricity. Think about it, up and over at least 4 big hills. Madness. 

Secondly, the regional sewage works are biological filters that require very little power input. The Laxey sewage works would have been by far the best environmental option. No pumping at all. Good to see Daphers putting her own popularity above the best option for the environment.

Why on earth do you think Meary Veg is a good option. There is no way that it will be replaced in the next 20years.

 

This is the problem, comparing the effects of electricity to pump sewage and the effects of multi sewage plant emissions  is like comparing a volcano to a  coal fire in ramsey. But it would have been nice to see the environmental impact assessment for each option.

What do sewage works emit? The biological reaction will emit CO2 as its respiration of the bugs that break down the sewage. But its the same amount of CO2 wherever you do it.

The only difference is that on the MV option,  you are moving it miles and pumping it up and down dale.

Interesting post. Not sure of the relevance to the arguement about Laxey and Peel regional sewage schemes. 

I note that these sewage works will not be receiving industrial waste but they will emit CO2. They will emit CO2 wherever they are and whatever process is chosen. The amount will be tiny.

With multi treatment plants, water in the future will become the key issue with longer dry spells and increasing flooding all which are key to the treatment of sewage .So for the island to keep its greenhouse gases emissions down as new techchnologies emerge, the fewer treatment plants the easier to adapt.

Honestly. I can't see a time when we move away from biological treatment of sewage. Not in our lifetimes. Maybe someday.  I don't think it's a consideration for us to worry about at the moment.

Rob splashing the cash again?  2.2 million for Garwick, god knows how much for the peel site.
