Public Petition on Kiltimagh Water Scheme: Discussion
1:00 pm
Mr. Michael McDermott:
The construction time will probably be between five to six months. There is about 4 km to cover. Once we are given the go-ahead, if we get the go-ahead, there are procurement procedures that we must follow. If the funding is in place, we will have to advise the contractor and give a two-week period of notice for the unsuccessful contractor to appeal. We can appoint a contractor within two weeks of that. There is a month between sending out the successful and unsuccessful letters and being able to appoint a contractor. The time period for the construction will be about four to five months as it is not a huge scheme.
