§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether the sewage from certain lodges and farms discharges into the River Nethy, just above the village of Causer, in the Badenoch district of Inverness-shire; and whether it is the fact that the people of Causer take their water supply from the River Nethy for both drinking and domestic purposes?
MR. GRAHAM MURRAYI am informed by the Local Government Board, who have been in communication with the county medical officer and county sanitary inspector, (1) that no sewage is discharged directly into the River Nethy from lodges or farms just above Causer, and (2) that none of the inhabitants of Causer have occasion to use river water for drinking or domestic purposes, there being well water procurable within a reasonable distance.
