§ Mr. Kilfedderasked the Secretary or State for Northern Ireland what proposals he has for the provision of a clean and healthy water supply for the town of Donaghadee, County Down.
§ Mr. David HowellI am informed that the Donaghadee Urban District Council, which is the water authority for the town, is to install sedimentation tanks and activated carbon filters at the Portavoe waterworks and that these measures, which should be in service by next summer, will bring about an improvement in the quality of the town's water supply.
In addition, a major water distribution scheme for the surrounding area is being designed by the North Down Rural District Council. This scheme, due to be completed in the summer of 1974, will be capable of providing Donaghadee with an alternative water supply equal in quantity to the present town demand.
