Revised IRIS strategy supported by Tynwald

Transport Minister David Anderson says work will start soon on the new-look IRIS scheme, after politicians backed his business case in Tynwald yesterday.

The project aims to treat all the Island’s sewage and end the practice of pumping it out into the Irish Sea.

But the new proposals will see three smaller regional systems built, instead of one big network spanning the Island.

Mr Anderson says despite the vote yesterday, there's still a way to go.
