Adjournment Matters. - Water and Sewerage Schemes.
The total allocated for Galway city and county under the current phase of the programme comes to almost €350 million in respect of some 46 schemes. The approved schemes include major sewerage projects for Galway city, soon to be completed, and for Clifden, Headford, Barna, Athenry, Tuam, Ballinasloe, and Kilronan. There are also major water supply schemes for Galway city, Carna-Kilkieran, Tuam regional water supply scheme, phase two, as well as regional water supply schemes for Clifden, Costelloe, Loughrea and Ballinasloe. These are the biggest of the schemes, but many more towns and villages in the county, including Milltown, are also covered and will benefit from the major push to bring our water and sewerage infrastructure up to modern standards. Funding has also been provided under the serviced land initiative to bring additional serviced residential sites on stream as rapidly as possible to meet housing needs at a number of key locations around Galway city and county.
