The works to extend the Limerick County Trunk Water Mains to supply Croom and Patrickswell from the upgraded Clareville Water Treatment Plant have been approved for funding under my Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2005-2007.

I understand that the Patrickswell element of the works is already in place. I approved Limerick County Council's proposals to invite tenders for new trunk mains between Patrickswell and Ballygeale in October 2006 and further progress on this project is a matter for the Council. My Department is awaiting submission of the Council's Contract Documents for the trunk mains from Ballygeale to Croom.

No proposals have been received by my Department from Kildare County for further works to the recently completed Allenwood Sewerage Scheme nor was any such proposal included in the list of schemes submitted by the Council in response to my Department's request to all 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 Kildare County Council in that context will be taken into account in the framing of the next phase of my Department's Water Services Investment Programme.
