Planning for £2.9 million reservoir granted

It's expected to take six months to construct

Planning permission to build a new reservoir and pump station, in Jurby, has been granted.

The £2.9 million project will provide clean drinking water and be constructed off the A14 Ballamenagh Road adjacent to the ex-RAF Parade Ground.

The three-quarters-of-a-million litre reservoir will take six months to build.

Alongside supplying water to existing customers, the facility aims to support the recently installed pipeline and deliver essential fire-fighting requirements for the industrial estate and surrounding areas.

Construction is set to begin in summer 2024.
