To ask the Minister for Infrastructure pursuant to AQW 18085/17-22, to provide further detail for each of the areas, except for Larne, where problems have been identified.

NI Water has advised that, of the Waste water Treatment Works (WwTW) located in the East Antrim constituency area (excluding Larne WwTW), the Mullaghboy WwTW is currently operating above its design capacity.

In the Whitehead, Ballystrudder, Ballycarry, Tully Road (Carnlough and Glenarm), Cushendall and Cushendun areas, issues relate to the sewers nearing capacity. In these areas developers should engage with NI Water’s Developer Services Solution Engineering Team, which will conduct more detailed analysis of the wastewater system and, if required, investigate potential developer led solutions to address capacity issues.
