Malton, Norton and Old Malton Pumping Plan 2015 (DRAFT)
Welcome to the first public disclosure of the erstwhile TOP SECRET Malton and Norton and Old Malton Pumping Plan 2015. (North Yorkshire Council is currently refusing to send me an updated plan, citing ‘security reasons’, so we’ll have to make do with this this one). Before wading into the plan (be careful, it’s very sticky at the bottom) take a moment to read and reflect upon, the Undertaker’s Prayer; the Statutory Sewerage Undertaker’s Prayer [to Yorkshire Water] as written by Paul in his first letter to the Corinthians, and reproduced at Section 94 of the
Water Industry Act 1991:
General duty to provide sewerage system:
(1) It shall be the duty of every sewerage undertaker—
(a) to provide, improve and extend such a system of public sewers (whether inside its area or elsewhere) and so to cleanse and maintain those sewers [F1and any lateral drains which belong to or vest in the undertaker] as to ensure that that area is and continues to be effectually drained; and
(b) to make provision for the emptying of those sewers and such further provision (whether inside its area or elsewhere) as is necessary from time to time for effectually dealing, by means of sewage disposal works or otherwise, with the contents of those sewers.” Amen.
The above Act, and how it is being ignored and abused, is the foundation of everything you will find here. Simon Thackray, February 2024.
