(ems have to be solved
project Pflposes newv tower for Hensary
I1 There are elev m
nceatra11(ms in the

cause of this. the Ministry of the Environment will not
aHnty additional residential or industrial development
withal -the village until the issue of secunng an ad
equate water supply is addressed
21 11 for any reason the King St well supply was
out Of service, then the balance of the water supply
cannot meet maximum day demands.

velopment
