The Milltownpass Sewerage Scheme is included in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2005-2007 under the Rural Towns and Villages Initiative at an estimated cost of €4.37 million.

My Department approved the Preliminary Report for this scheme in November 2003. Certain additional information is awaited from Westmeath County Council which will allow the scheme to progress to construction stage without 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.
