to deal with the flow from its new combined catchment area, and
the Bury Farm Works has ample capacity and is discharging an
excellent effluent to the Mar Dyke.
The implementation of the above mentioned works— which

extensions of the system— the others being renewals and
improvements to the existing sewers.
