The Ballinahown Sewerage Scheme was ranked 24th in the list of water and sewerage schemes submitted by Westmeath County Council in response to my Department's request to local authorities last year to undertake fresh assessments of the needs for capital works in their areas and to prioritise their proposals on the basis of the assessments. The priorities adopted by the members of Westmeath County Council will be taken into account in the framing of the next phase of my Department's Water Services Investment Programme.
