To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail the number of days that wastewater treatment stations have been recorded as being over capacity in each of the last five years.

The management of public wastewater infrastructure is an operational matter for NI Water. However, I have sought the requested information from NI Water and have been advised as follows:

NI Water does not record data on the capacity of wastewater treatment works on a daily basis and therefore the information sought is not available.

For any future queries relating to operational matters, you should contact NI Water directly, through the Elected Representatives Hotline on 0345 300 6461 or through waterline@niwater.com

Making direct contact with NI Water will ensure that you receive the information in the shortest possible timeframe and make best use of limited public resources.
