Storage tanks must hold 10 days of soiled water
“There is no specific requirement for separate storage of soiled water at the moment, and in the vast majority of such cases this water simply goes into the slurry tank, which fills up quickly”, said Environment Department principal officer John Sadlier during last week’s Joint Committee on Agriculture and Food debate on the Directive.
“A slurry tank which was intended to cater for two or three months’ worth of water can fill up in a few weeks”, said Mr Sadlier.
