Drainage of the Cauteen River can be undertaken by the Commissioners of Public Works only as part of a comprehensive scheme under the Arterial Drainage Act 1945 for the Mulkear Catchment in which it lies. The Mulkear is scheduled for treatment but it will be some time before it can be reached in the programme.
