BIG SCHEME TO TAP HODDER AT MITTON


The River Hoddcr at Mitton figures in a proposed major scheme which is to be


negotiated between the Fyldc Water Board and the Lancashire River Authority. The object of the project is to ensure that the Blackburn area has enough water to meet


its constantly increasing needs. In a report on the proposed


development of the Board’s supply system. Mr. Law says the proposed river intake was so close to the area of supply that the scheme would be a very economical one.


He suggested that the


Board should make applica­ tion to the river authority for a licence to abstract at Mit­ ton up to 20,000,000 gallons on any day, but not more than, say, 3000,000,000 gal­ lons in any calendar year. A proviso, also suggested


by Mr. Law, was that ab­ straction would be confined to occasions when supply of water authorised by licences of rights from Stocks, Dun- sop and Pickup Bank were
