The Killybegs sewerage scheme has been approved for construction under my Department's water services investment programme 2005-07 at an estimated cost of €17.5 million. The wastewater treatment plants for both Killybegs and Bundoran will be procured under a single design/build/operate contract. Donegal County Council's preliminary reports for both the Killybegs and Bundoran sewerage schemes are under examination in my Department in conjunction with more recently submitted water services pricing policy reports for both schemes. I expect my Department to be in a position to convey a decision to the council within a matter of weeks. When the preliminary reports are approved, the council will be in a position to proceed with the preparation of tender documents.
