Roscommon County Council's Design Review and Water Services Pricing Policy Reports and Implementation Strategy for these water supply schemes are being further examined in my Department following receipt of additional information from the Council and I expect a decision to issue shortly. Following approval by the Department, the Council will be in a position to prepare Contract Documents for the schemes.

The Kilmallock Sewerage Scheme is included in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2005-2007 as a scheme to commence construction in 2007. My Department approved Limerick County Council's brief for the appointment of consultants to prepare Contract Documents for the scheme in July 2005. The Council's proposals in relation to the consultants' fees and Planning Stage Budget for the scheme were received in my Department last month and are being dealt with as quickly as possible.
