Work gets underway on £2.9million reservoir and pump station today
The chair of Manx Utilities says it's important to think of the future when investing in infrastructure.
John Wannenburgh's comments come as work gets underway on a new £2.9million reservoir and pump station in Jurby today.
It comes just weeks after construction started on the Regional Sewage Treatment works in Peel, with a planning application for a similar facility in Garff due to be submitted this month.
With government aiming to increase the Island's population to 100,000, Mr Wannenburgh says facilities need to be futureproof to support the growing number of residents:
