The Rathowen Sewerage Scheme is included in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2005 – 2007 as a scheme to advance through planning at an estimated cost of €1.28m.

My Department approved the Preliminary Report for this scheme in November 2005. Certain additional information was requested from the Council and as soon as this is provided the Council may advance the scheme to construction without any further reference to my Department in accordance with the streamlined procedures I introduced earlier this year to advance progress under the Water Services Investment Programme.
