Knockcroghery sewerage scheme will serve approximately 25 houses initially. The question of finance for the construction of the scheme will not arise until tenders have been obtained for its construction. It is a matter for the local authority to consider whether any short to medium term measures are feasible to abate any pollution of the stream pending construction of the scheme. The council has been asked to advise the Deputy of the position.
