Wastewater works at Kewaigue to restart early next year

It was meant to be completed in September 

Work to upgrade the wastewater works at Kewaigue is set to restart early next year. 

Manx Utilities has confirmed the project - which was due to start in March was halted after an investigation identified a need to refine the proposed route - will get underway in January 2026.

It is hoped to be completed by May 2026, before the start of the TT. 

The works will address health and safety risks associated with access to the pumping station along with reducing annual operating costs and future expenses.

There will be a number of closures on the Old Castletown road: 

• 16–20 February: Single-lane closure | Two-way traffic lights | Access to footpaths will be maintained | Scheduled during School Holidays
• 23 February–10 April: Single-lane closure | Two-way traffic lights
• 13–17 April: Single-lane closure | Two-way traffic lights | Access to pavements will be maintained | Scheduled during School Holidays
