The Upper Liffey Valley Sewerage Scheme is included in my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2005-2007 as a scheme to commence construction in 2007.

Last December I approved Kildare County Council's Preliminary Report for the expansion of the wastewater treatment plant at Osberstown; the Council may now prepare contract documents for this element of the scheme. The Council's Preliminary Report for the collection networks in Clane, Johnstown, Kilcullen, Kill, Naas, Newbridge, Prosperous and Sallins is under examination in my Department and is being dealt with as quickly as possible.
