The extension of the Tuam regional water supply scheme to Clarenbridge has been approved for construction in my Department's water services investment programme 2004-2006. I approved Galway County Council's contract documents for the scheme in July and my Department awaits submission of the council's tender recommendations.

As regards the proposed waste water scheme for Clarenbridge, I understand the location of the outfall for this scheme is contingent on the conclusions of the preliminary report being prepared for stage three of the Galway main drainage scheme. The resulting proposals for the Clarenbridge scheme will receive early consideration in my Department.
