Infrastructure Minister Jason Moorhouse says the discharge of untreated sewage into the sea, from the Peel Breakwater toilets, should end next year.
He was asked about the matter in the House of Key this morning (November 10) by Glenfaba and Peel MHK Katryna Baptist. She wanted to know what was being done to stop the discharge.
Moorhouse said: “The department commenced works to end the direct discharge of untreated sewage from the Peel Breakwater toilets into the sea earlier this year.
“The project will install a sewage treatment system, which will treat foul and grey water coming from the toilet block and kiosk.”
He added: “The scheme is expected to be completed by February 2027.”
He said there had been delays in the delivery time of the equipment.
“When work is complete and a DEFA discharge licence received, the discharge of untreated sewage to the sea will end.”
