(a) Yes.
(b) The location was chosen as it allows for gravity flow for all land within the catchment, which covers the whole area east of the river in Donnybrook.
(c) Yes.
(d) No.
(e) An alternative location may not be able to accommodate all future development within the catchment, and hence, would increase future capital and operational costs.
