The west Waterford water supply scheme is included in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2004-2006 as a scheme to commence construction this year.

My Department approved Waterford County Council's design brief for the scheme in 2003 and is awaiting submission of a preliminary report by the council. The council will be in a position to prepare contract documents for the scheme following approval of the preliminary report by my Department.
