As for foul water, these distribution sites do not clean their vehicles regularly then ?????. No amount of flim flam can disguise the fact that foul water wiull be produced and will need dealing with and at last you seem to have taken that on board with thp pumping station etc..................................... ffs its a good job i am in favour of wakey getting this other than one of the nimbys, then i could really find something to gripe about'"
Hang on a minute, firstly you brought up flooding in Methley being a potential problem, which is what the NIMBY's are saying. The fact of the matter is, is that it is not a problem. I just explained that surface water is the major contributing factor to modern flood problems, not foul water or trade effluent, and explained why it was not an issue for Newmarket and/or the ex proposed Eco village.
Of course they produce foul water output, which does indeed need discharging into the foul water sewerage network and need treating... but that has bugger all to do with any flooding and the time of entry to river via a treatment plant is relatively long and strictly controlled. They do wash vehicles but they produce relative little foul water, even developments as big
Newmarket, in comparison to any residential development. Think about the density of people in an housing estate, all showering, using the bath, using dish and washing machine, flushing the loo and think about the density of people in a large distribution warehouses, who only really go to the loo! The truck wash, which will recycle a large part of it's grey water, is not going to make any difference!
It is good job you are in favour, and a good job you are not working as a drainage engineer!
