§ Mr. BennettTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions how many storm overflows allow untreated sewage to pass into the River Tame; if he will list the grid references of each overflow point; and how many are planned to be fixed by North West Water during each of the next five years. [44112]
§ Angela EagleThere are 67 storm water overflows which have outfalls affecting the River Tame. The following table shows the location of the outfalls by name and national grid reference.
There are no plans for improvement of storm overflows into the River Tame during the remaining two years of North West Water's Asset Management Plan 2 (AMP2), agreed in 1994 with the then National Rivers Authority. However, in 1996, three unsatisfactory storm overflows in Audenshaw were abandoned and replaced by one of modern design.
The Asset Management Plan for the five years from March 2000 (AMP3) is currently under consideration as part of the Periodic Review of water company price limits from 2000–2005, and the unsatisfactory storm water overflows discharging into the River Tame will be considered as part of this process.
