The Kiltimagh sewerage scheme is approved for funding in my Department's water services investment programme 2005-07 as a scheme to commence construction this year. My Department approved Mayo County Council's preliminary report and the preparation of contract documents for stage 1 of the scheme in February 2004.

The council's contract documents for the collection network were received in September 2005 and its tender documents for the proposed wastewater treatment plant — design build operate contract were received last month. Further consideration will be given to these documents on receipt of the additional information requested from the council in respect of the collection network contract documents in September 2005 and in respect of the overall scheme in February 2006. Approval of these documents will allow the council to invite tenders for the construction of the scheme.
